Search Facility

[OldtimeFSA]

I've tried the search facility and in general it works well. However, it does not work with 3 letter words.

Thus, it is impossible to do a search on FSA or MBA or CFA or GSU etc.

Is this a limitation we just have to live with?

Not sure if we have to live with it. The point has been raised I have not yet investigated it. It may be there to prevent someone from searching on 'the' or 'and', and melting down the server.

Nevertheless, it is annoying if it's not there when you need it, I've had the same problem myself. I will look into this when I clean up the board (we're still suffering conversion pains).

Thanks for the idea of using the * wildcard as a "work-around" for 3 letter words. It seems to work.
