searching the forum

[eraslan]

I am having trouble searching the forum. Some examples:

1. if I search "how much cardio", "how" and "much" are dropped because they are short and common.

2. if I search "cardio frequency" I get all the posts that have either the word "cardio" or the word "frequency" in it.

3. if I search "Step Max", "Max" is dropped because it is too short. Even worse, if I search "CTX" the whole search term is dropped because of its length.

The forum has tons of useful information. Being new here I have many questions which I am sure must have been asked before. Unfortunately I locate the relevant information because of the limitations on the search tool. I wonder if it is possible to have Google type features, so that I can search only for posts that
* contain ALL the search terms I type in
* contain the exact phrase I type in
* contain at least one of the words I type in
* do NOT contain any of the words I type in

Any help on whether this is possible would be appreciated.
