*cal-lab
cal-lab*
"cal-lab"

"-" will not include topics/posts containing the keyword specified after the "-" in the search results (which would be 'lab' in your case). Explained here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?s=&act=Search&CODE=explain

Hmm, true. The "-" will exclude the word after it.

However i thought it would work if enclosed in quotes, ie. "cal-lab"
but it didn't laugh.gif
