Search Options

Is there a way to get a "match entire phrase" or "match all words" option for the general search option for all of the fora like the one for the FAQ? For instance, suppose I want to search for a title, and "the" and "or" are words in the title. The search function won't search for them because they are too common, but I didn't see anything in the advanced options to allow me to search for all of the words. As a result, I end up with a lot of search results that are nowhere near what I was looking for. Thank you for your time.

type "and" in there between words. eg. japan and reference, kogals and shinjuku and pics.
