How would YOU go about searching for threads about buying used vs. buying new? If I Advance Search just titles for "new used", I get this response "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : new, used Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : new, use", which is BS, just show the results and I'll decide how to further filter them based on additional keywords. Just imagine Google saying this during a search "sorry no matches".

If I instead search for "buy new or used", I then get some results, but nothing that's relevant (just try it yourself). If I were a newbie user of BF (or even a veteran user), I'd get frustrated with the search within seconds, and just create a new post asking about "new vs used" like everyone does.

Show me your search terms?
