It depends what you are looking for, the time frame and the site you are using. Are you able to be a bit more specific about the names CARR & ROMSEY

Any thing that refers to the Surname of Carr that was living in Romsey, Hampshire that was questioned by a fellow researchers.
Rather me looking for just John Carr of Romsey approx 1901 i would like to bag one search with all Carr's of Romsey of any time frame.
I have looked up Carr's and i got every Carr over the UK and there are pages. (I hope this helps)

Hi Lee
I think you are asking how to do a search on the Brit-Gen forums using the words Carr and Romsey together?
If you type Carr and Romsey into the search box it brings up this post but then also brings up pages of posts with just the word 'and' in them. Using "Carr Romsey" brings up pages of posts with those names in them but not necessarily together. So the search engine on BG doesn't work like the google and other search engines. I think this is a query for our technical department. I will ask them but as we are coming up to a weekend the answer may be a few days in coming.

Edited to add = I have moved this thread from the Introduce Yourself forum to the Brit-Gen Discussion forum.Sometimes paranoia is just having all the facts.

Many thanks for looking into this. I believe having this type of search like google will help all members to search old threads.

Or use a search engine such as Duckduckgo or Google (if you must)
carr romsey site:british-genealogy.com

The search term I suggested works on Google or Duckduckgo.
carr romsey site:british-genealogy.com
If you found a lot of irrelevant references to Romsey Town in Cambridge (you won't!) you could amend the search to something like
carr romsey -Cambridge site:british-genealogy.com
