Using the search function, is it possible to search for a phrase e.g. "blue light"? I've tried this and it only seems to turn up posts containing "blue" and "light" but not necessarily together. Can this be done?

Putting the phrase in quotation marks (") sometimes works, depending which search engine you use

If you use google, after you've entered the phrase, to the right of the results, there's a small cog shaped icon. Click on that and you get some options, one of which is advanced search. Select that and customise your search....

Yes, try google using " marks on the keywords so it keeps them together and it that order. Put site:wwwadvanced-driving.co.uk in the search with it to contain results to this site.
