Having trouble narrowing searches on EarnersForum

It could just be me being dumb or something haha, though I can't get the search form on EarnersForum to work correctly. It does search, of course.... but if I try to narrow down my search in any way with boolean phrases or other methods that usually work on vBulletin forums, it doesn't work.

For instance, if I try to find posts or threads that contain an exact phrase, or a combination of words, it still just finds all posts that have "any" of the words, not all of the words.

Anyhow, just letting your know, so you can either tell me what I'm doing wrong, or fix the bug if there is one.

Thanks!

The forum is using the beta version of the new vB software. There are bound to be a few problems.

True though it's the same version running on vbulletin.com ... I tried the search out there just to be sure and it worked correctly. From a quick bit of reading on the forum (not in depth) it looks like there are a number of potential causes for an issue like this, ranging from a setting in vB, to settings on the MySQL tables.
