If you search for Homers Notes, that's the same as searching for Homer OR Notes. To search for that phrase you would put quotes around it. To search for Homer AND notes, you can type just that.

If you want all the nitty gritty details for our boolean search syntax, you can read through this page:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/...t-boolean.html

The last and probably most useful solution for this is google. We've opened up our forum so it's readable to the world, including google (I hear they're pretty good at this whole search engine thing).

Enter this at google, and you'll get pretty good results: "2-M-1" site:www.lynnblakegolf.com
I knew all this.



Thanks, Bambam. You're the best!
