I am not one to complain, unless of course everyone else is complaining and then my herd mentality takes over.

I love this site, but I am less than pleased with the search function. I know Bumper has no control over it as he rents/purchases this forum and is at the mercy of the developers.

However, the search feature seems to be lacking as it does an OR search vs. an AND search. That is if I type in Glock 19 9mm, it will find every thread with EITHER the word Glock OR 19 OR 9mm. What we really want is an AND search where it only finds threads with the words Glock AND 19 AND 9mm.

As a software developer myself, I would make that the next feature I put in. Actually, it really isn't that hard to program, but I know not how this site is architected so I will just shut up.
