I was actually going to propose this myself, and a thread on FH remimded me about it. So, quoting the relevant post:
Arcon wrote:
what about changing the default on the search page from 'Search for any terms or use query as entered' to 'Search for all terms'?

if i enter more than 1 word i normally do this for a reason. and most of the time i forget to toggle the radio button and end up with the best results for 'the' or similar pretty useless results listing half the message board :)


How about doing the same on HHAH? I don't know about you, but I never use the first option.

EDIT: I actually thought a poll might be better here.

I voted for search for all terms because the other one gives WAY too many results. Plus it's a little more precise.

All terms...

Anyway, when I'm doing a search for more than one words, I put AND between them as a habit.

LOL, we seem to be unanimous then...

BTW, corrected the spelling mistake in the poll question (where's this damn spellchecker?). Was veeery tired when I posted it. :)
