I am trying to use the forum search feature to search for "e-Tax".
But I assume because the hyphen (-) character between the "e" and the "Tax" is a special character that means to exclude a word from the search, it isn't giving me the results I want.
Is there a way to escape the hyphen character and get the posts containing "e-Tax"?
(I tried using / and \ characters and enclosing the whole "e-Tax" in quotes but none seemed to work, unless I have had too many wines.)

It looks like there's a plug-in to get Google search by default from within the forum, but Ben would have to set that up
