    Hi, thanks for replying. I have no problem understanding the search process, however when I am searching for a phrase that is more than one word, ie: apple tv, I want to search for these words in this sequence only. On most sites if I searched for "apple tv" that is what would happen. On MSE it does not. All I was asking was if anyone could tell me how to do this on here. Or am I particularly stupid? shrug.gif

    I have had the same problem on here but as espresso says above if you do it via google with the site search then it will work.

    The reason you found this post is because the search term was in this thread
