I'm confused.

'1911' found 102229 times in 70262 documents

If you mean that you want to search for "9mm 1911" as a phrase, then you need to use google. But it seems to me that the search mechanism is ANDing search terms, just like you want it to.


And, zoomie, BTW TFL does _not_ use the standard vbulletin search mechanism. 2-letter words are allowed, except for a few extremely common words ("an", "to", that sort of thing).
