James,

I use a white ink I purchased at Hobby Lobby. It is Dr. Ph. Martin brand white india ink. http://www.docmartins.com/index2.asp

I think some programmers try to get too universal with their code, or try to make code from another program work within their own rather than sit down and think out how to do it from scratch. I'm not sure if that's what happened here or not, but I've seen it happen in projects involving a mix of programmers.

James & all,

Here is another trick for whitening up lasered marble and granite.

Laser your image then apply baby powder wipe it into the engraving now we put wax onto it the wax we used is the toilet rings preferably the unused ones lightly rub the wax onto the surface and then apply another dusting of baby powder. Then buff until smooth. It comes out real nice and white.

David,

I have been using an thinned opaque white printers ink. I had mixed up a pretty good batch but have finally run low enough to need to mix more. I forgot what to thin it with hence the search. If I ever go through the pound of ink they gave me (they decided it was just easier to give it than to sell a pound) I will try the india ink.

Thanks,

James,

Getting back to you with an answer to your question, straight from Matt (BH development).

The search has changed to always be performed in boolean mode (if supported by MySQL) so you simply have to use the + and - modifiers like +beehive -forum or "beehive forum", etc.

I tried that a while back and it did not work, but now it does.

The one bug left is that it will not give an error on a three letter item, but will not find it.

Each search word must have four or more letters.

+fire +extinguish does find the post with fire extinguisher. Apparently quoted is still lacking. E.G. +"fire extinguish"

Cool. I had tried the old .AND. with no success. This is a good thing. Thanks,

James,

Matt's message came as good news to me as well.

I've tried some quoted searches, which worked very well.
