If the results are to include all keywords, why do 'teenage dream girls' and 'teenage dreamgirls' result in 2 different search results?
(Should the fact that there is a space in one really have that much of an effect?)
The logic used in the vB search function can be a bit of a challenge. In this particular case, if you enter *teenage dream*, it does return the desired result.

Quotation marks (as you might use in google) don't work. Also, the default logic is OR so you would have found threads with teenage, threads with dream and threads with both, but not threads with dreamgirls. It switches to AND if you don't return any thread results and subsequently switch to searching posts.

Alternatively, send one of us a PM - we don't mind investing time for contributing members.
