Welcome to the club, and thanks for trying to search.

The search engine doesn't like strings that contain less than 3 characters. When you type 'Cayman S' it sees that as two words, 'Cayman' and 'S', the second being only one character. It also doesn't count punctuation symbols as characters, so even though '2.7' is truly 3 characters, it sees it as 2.

So, I suggest you try this. Search for any of the following, and make sure you select 'Search Titles Only'. Enter these searches exactly as you see them below:

+"Cayman S" +"base Cayman"
+"Cayman S" +"versus"
+"Cayman S" +"comparison"

Explanation:

Adding quotes to a phrase makes the search engine treat everything inside those quotes as a single word. So when you type "Cayman S" in the search box, it looks for an 8 character string that must contain the space between 'Cayman' and 'S'. This is a good way to get around the 3 character limit with the 'S'.

Adding a '+' to a search string tells the search engine that the results MUST contain that string. If you left the '+' out of my first example, the search engine would return every thread that had "Cayman S" in its title OR "base Cayman" in it's title. By adding the '+' to both strings, it will only return threads that have both "Cayman S" AND "base Cayman" in the title.

Here are some threads I came up with using those techniques:

Cayman S, non-S, base etc.
