Searching question on forums

How come you cant perform a search in most forums (TZ, paneristi etc) on strings like 16710 or 111 etc?

I tried putting exclamation marks round the number but nope didnt work!

Am I doing something wrong???

Being an IT nerd I should know this... go easy on me!

I've done a SEARCH before, but without any of the punctuation marks. Worked for me!!

Amanda, some forum search engines won't allow for numbers. TZ is one.
Try Google, type in 16710 site:timezone.com.
