Wendy might be able to clarify. I'm actually going to report my own post to suggest that this thread be used to "using this forum software"--I think Wendy checks those threads regularly.

Beth - I don't think it's the case here. Search for any two word sequence and you'll find LOTS of posts with just one of the words in the results list. I didn't even think about the "+" since nearly no other search engine requires it any longer.

So maybe the search function of this forum isn't as crappy as I always thought, I just didn't know about the necessary tricks.

Michelle, you may be right. (Btw, is that a new avatar? Nice!)

While we are on the subject, though, I found this page with a lot of cool Google searching tips:

I'm glad I asked again because I would not go to using this forum software . I don't know why, just easier to ask... Please don't take this away, someone else might need the question answered too

If I cannot find what I want by searching through VF, I use Google and put in something like "site: videofitness.com barre" or whatever I want to search for.

Here is an example of the results I got for the above search:

Google Barre

And here is one for Barre3:

Google Barre 3
