I've discovered something about searching the forums

If you wrap a search term (one or multiple words) in quotes, put a space before the 1st character and one after the last character.

Example:

Searching for "WaitForMultipleObjects" without quotes produced zero results.

Wraping it in quotes " WaitForMultipleObjects " with spaces mentioned above produced 97 hits.

right$ funny business

...the situation is still as you described, though now there are 129 results for your search with the blanks.
A search for RIGHT$ or "RIGHT$" gets no results.
With the blanks, the search for " RIGHT$ " or " RIGHT$(" gets no results, but the blanks in the search string have been replaced with an asterisk, "*RIGHT$*" and "*RIGHT$(".
A search for LEFT$ or " LEFT$ " gets over 500 results, and the blanks have not been replaced with an asterisk.
