Ran across a thread yesterday where someone was seeking a combo right and left-hand threaded rod for a centering vise. Reminded me of a thread in the past few weeks where someone was seeking the same thing, so I thought I'd search for it and post a link.

I used the internal PM search function, and selected "posts", keywords: left hand thread right, from any poster in the past month.

Search results came back for: left hand thread
listing a few posts. The word "right" was no longer included.

I searched: left right thread
and got results for: left thread

I searched: right left
and got results for: left

I searched: right
and got:
The following errors occurred with your search:
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: right

Hmmm... is there a list of terms one cannot search for?
Can Milacron alter that list? Can we be informed of the unsearchable words before going thru the process of elimination?

Or... can we have a "Search with Google" button on the search pull-down menu that gets around the shortcomings of vbulletin searches? (I know we can exit or spawn a new tab to do a Google search.)

This is a test post for the little minus sign thingy on the right.

Adds #top to the end of the url... but just makes the screen empty for some reason.
