Seems to work as advertised. I do understand what results you want returned. Sounds like you would like a unique (single) title returned for each thread. Instead of all the posts from each thread. But how would the search engine know which post form each thread to display. First post, last? I supposed the search engine could have been designed with an option for just such a request. But that may have made it confusing to some. I search for 'Cam timing' and I got 52 hits with more than one thread represented in the results. The posts were sorted by date order. You could separate the threads by choosing the "Sort by Title" option. Still not ideal, but at least it gives you a sense of how many unique threads that match. I did that with my 'Cam timing' search and it made it easier to follow. Also, you can narrow the search by using the double quotes. When I used 'Cam timing' I got 52 hits, when I used '"Cam timing"' I got only 33 hits. That's because the double quoted ["Cam timing"] is considered as one key word as opposed to [Cam timing] which is different. Form example, [Cam timing] will retrn "timing cam" whereas ["Cam timing"] will not. With the latter search term, the match has to be in that order as an exact match. although the title can have more text along with it.
