How do I search Mark V and not get Mark III, IV, VII, etc?

Post by mikeceli »

Hi I am trying to read up Mark V's. I search "Mark V' and "Mark+V" and get thousands of results including ALL marks.

How do i find only Mark V's . Thank you!

I just tried searching "V" it responded that the word must be at least 2 characters, to search. Any other ideas?

One cannot do a search for any single character word in any combination with any other terms. Words must be two characters. The search database would be insanely huge.

Unfortunately, the search system does not allow for exclusionary terms like -III, -IV, -VII, etc. Perhaps a future update of the phpBB software will allow this? Right now, it doesn't.

Since Marks are 77, 78, and 79 only, those might help, but if the year is not posted, it won't help you.
