Trying/Failing to search for part number

[White Box]

I searched for a part number and received 'Sorry - No Match' response. Then I tried searching for a part number that I know exists in a thread and again received 'Sorry - No Match'. What am I doing wrong?

It may be related to the dashes in the search query. The dashes may unfortunately return a false/incorrect (sorry) response.

Yeah, part numbers are technically without spaces or dashes. Spaces or dashes would be for legibility and understanding, as the groups of characters of the part number having meaning if you understand the structure. Spaces would be more common than dashes. The problem with spaces is most search engines won't let you search on a string with spaces. It'll treat each term as separate terms to find, and usually they be "too short to consider". Dashes can be the same problem. And putting the complete term in quotes usually won't help any.

If this is a searching for classifieds, or say eBay listings, hopefully the poster put the p/n at a minimum the searchable way, without interpretation hints (spaces/dashes).
