Is there a way to search for a phrase or is it only individual words? Each time I search it finds post with any of the words I'm searching for and it doesn't really help that much...

If you click the Search at the very top its a Google search. So put the phrase "in quotes"

one other useful tip is to use the minus "-" sign to exclude terms that you don't want to be included in your search.

Thanks, I didn't see the search feature at the top; I was using the one at the top of each thread.
