Need help with "search" feature

When entering a search, I'm constantly getting the message that what I'm searching for is invalid and doesn't meet the minimum number of words or something like that. For example, I tried to search "moto guzzi v7" since I know I've seen it referenced here by guys comparing it to Bonnies & Thruxtons. Got the same thing using just "v7". I know "moto guzzi" would pull stuff up, but I'm not interested in every freakin' Guzzi reference ever posted.

Can anyone give me some guidelines for better searching?

Scrambler it may have been the way you put it in. Some times when doing a search you need to do it in a few different manners. I found two threads by doing it this way Moto Guzzi V-7 Classic. Please let me know if you need anything else. The two threads are what I found on the RAT site. I also gave you a video from motorcycle.com. Thanks Lee

Lee - thanks a bunch! I think my problem was using just "V7", whereas the search engine needs each word to have at least 3 characters, hence your using "V-7" does the trick.

Thanks for the vid link too!
