    Default Handy Tip

    I just thought I'd make a thread with a tip I've discovered on my JC journey..

    When searching for a specific model using the search function you may notice that it comes up with all kinds of models (like typing in "vl head gasket" will bring up all threads with head gasket). The software ignores 2 letter words as it thinks they're too short to count, but around here it makes the difference between sifting through 19 pages and finding just what you need.

    When searching type the model followed by a star, so for example:

    vl* head gasket

    And it will bring up content with VL in it!

    I found this extremely useful so I thought I'd post it here!

    Try:
    vl head gasket (9 pages)

    Then try:
    vl* head gasket (8 threads)

    See that difference
