A little sugestion, though, for making it easier to use the search....howzabout a search engine that recognizes quotes and actually finds the phrase I am looking for?

Case in point, a few weeks ago, I wanted to search for whether anyone, at any time, for any reason had tried to use a check valve for a line with dino diesel in it? (Like, in an auxiliary tank, or a storage tank at a shop or a tank on a boat.) So, I naively typed in: "check valve" and (fuel or diesel).

Considering that the (*&$$$#^^%%@ search engine doesn't recognize quotes or parentheses, do you care to take a guess at how many threads that search returned? And of the ones I opened, guess how many were of any help? Zero.

Just food for thought.
