I appologize in advance if it is obvious to some, but I searched the site and could not find any FAQs or such on how to search for older posts. I searched for "Noise left dash" and the search results only went back to Nov 9, 2010. I kow I had found some older posts than that before. how do I do it? I tried the advanced search and set the dates all the way back to 2005 but the results were the same. What am I doing wrong?

 

Try putting plus signs before each word in your search...

In other words, use:
+noise +left +dash

and see what you get.
