The " in search threads...
Here's an annoying thread for you to flame:
I get frustrated when I'm doing a search for a thread and I know I'm typing in the correct search word but am getting back nothing.
It always ends up being because in the original thread the word I'm looking for was in between " " which, I assume, the search engine sees as additinal letters.
Any way to make it so when we're searching for a word that may or may not have been in quotes we don't have to type them in?
Just a thought.

This is, of course, documented on the <a href="http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/search.php?s=">Search Page</a>, right under the Keyword field:
Add asterisks (*) to use wild cards in your search (*bullet* matches vBulletin etc.)
