Don't understand 'Search'.  What am I doing wrong?

I enter 'NS&I index linked certificates' in search bar and search, but results have absolutely nothing to do with topic.  Tried entering search bar on forum home page and on Savings board

    Did you put the words in quotes, i.e. "NS&I index linked certificates".
    If you put quotes round a group of words, it only returns results containing all of the words. Without the quotes it will return results containing any of the words individually.

    Thanks.  I tried it in quotes as you advised and it worked perfectly.  I've never heard that you have to put the search topic in quotes.  Will know in future.
