This is to the wonderful people who run this site....I find it great searching the Forum Archives for information. But sometimes I find it confusing on how to get hits on the information I want. For instance, if I search on the word CUBA I get not only hits on CUBA but also on SCUBA. Is there anyway to limit the search to exactly 'CUBA'? I've tried putting it single quotes and double quotes but that yields no hits. Selecting the "Match exact phrase" button still gets me SCUBA hits. Is there anyway to do an exact string search? Also can you use connector words like AND OR and NOT like you can on search engines like Google? Please don't take this wrong, I really think your site is great. Thanks

Set your search for 'exact phrase' and put a space in front of Cuba. That should take care of it.
