However, the site admin has been having another dig, and found what I
was looking for. An 'exact phrase' setting, apparently. To recap, the
original search morris minor would find either word. Now, it has to
find both words, so will find, for example 'a minor problem with a
morris'. Much better, but not perfect. Ah! I tried "morris minor"
(with speech quotes) and that finds only the two words together.
Perfect.


You will probably finf that using AND, OR and NOT between words, in
CAPITALS, without quotes, will work as well.
