[Shop-talk] Happy 4th, and I need a special part - search engines

[Brian Kemp]

Eric - Can you use a CPVC elbow with a reducing fitting?  It is good for 
hot water, so could be good for the heat.

I also tried searching myself and really dislike how the search engines 
no longer let us specify an exact search term.  Once upon a time, you 
could say "164570-00" and you would only get those results.  Now the 
search engines strip the dash and let in commas, spaces, and periods and 
think it is the same thing, even with their advanced search page.  I 
tried Google, Bing, and Alta Vista.  Does anyone know of a search engine 
that actually gives you ask for?
