You might try searching in quotes, or you can also search from outside rootschat.

"Search string" site:www.rootschat.com

There's also a hidden search thing for google built into RootsChat too. It was an experimental from ages ago, which searched various genealogy websites:

I was really just entertained by the left-field suggestions.

The quotes thing is useful though, didn't know about that.

You can also limit DuckDuckGo searches to a particular site like this:  site:www.rootschat.com william alcorne restalrig
