I can't seem to get the search to work for terms with 2 or more parts.

For eg. I search for "Dark Eldar" and it returns the same results as if I searched for Dark Eldar without the quotes.

Am i missing something here?

Use the word AND in between your search words.

So... you would type in "Dark and Eldar".

thank you sir

are you sure? doesn't seem to be working.
I can try
chaos and dwarf
"chaos and dwarf"

and both return results with chaos/and/dwarf anywhere in the post. :\

^^^ still can't search for a specific string... any help?

Unfortunately, phpbb boards are rather notorious for crappy "Search" functions in my experience.

I doubt you'll have any luck.

If you select Search for any terms or use query as entered, then topic containing ANY of the words you entered will be displayed. You may use the AND, OR, and NOT operators to indicate which words you want to search for. Use AND to indicate that multiple words MUST be found. Use OR to indicate that a word is optional/alternate. Use NOT to indicate that a word should not be present in the topics displayed.

If you select Search for all terms, only topics containing all of the words in the query will be displayed. Selecting this option has effects comparable to using Search for any terms or use query as entered, with the AND operator between each term.

You may use the asterisk(*) wildcard character to broaden your search. The asterisk will match any number of characters. So *cheese* will match cheese, cheesewheel, wheelcheese, or wheelcheesewheel. Likewise cheese*fudge will match cheesefudge, cheeseyfudge, or cheese597fudge.

To increase the speed and decrease the overhead of the search utility, only words may be searched for. Phrases (such as "cheese wheel") may not be searched for, except by their component words. The minimum size for words is four characters, and the maximum size is twenty characters. Any non-alphanumeric character (e.g. white space and punctuation) is a word boundary.

MMMMMMMMM..... Cheeseyfudge....
