    It ain't only a boolean problem. Try just searching for ELU and see how many hits you get

    You can either type in site:woodworkforums.com or go to Advanced Google Search, which will give you this option as well as some others.

    Or, as Carl has said, combine the 3 letter words with another relevant word, such as Elu Router, surrounded by quotes "Elu Router", that way the forum search does an AND search.

    There have been several discussions on this in the past (do a search)

    I'm pretty sure everything is working as it would be expected.

    Um, I don't understand how that is working as expected.

    Because the first returns results that contain box joint

    The second should return results that contain either box or joint.

    The results returned are quite different.

    Btw, by typing your keywords into Google, then adding

    site:www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au

    at the end, it restricts google to the WWF forums.

    Nice pickup, google finds 335 results. I'm not sure why our SE isn't finding results with this query, there are some obvious results containing your query within the post title.

    Leave it with me and I'll look into it.

    Default search plugin for browser

    I made a searchplugin for firefox, it may work on other browsers, I think it is opensearch compliant.

    Just rename the file as ubueat.xml and save it in your 'searchplugins" directory (most probably 'program files/mozilla firefox/searchplugins'.
    Then restart firefox.
