Moving to Bing

I am not sure I know what change. I think one change is that when we search we can put the search in a link such as this. I think we were not able to do that before, and it really helps to be able to put a search link in forum replies. The next thing to try is whether there is an "and" or an "or" in the search. In the past, I think the searches were done with an "or" and I could not get it to do an "and" so the searches were not very useful. I think the current search engines return results using an "and" first then an "or" and I hope that is how the search works now. The ideal would be to (optionally) be able to force an "and" and totally omit results that do not have all specified keywords.
