I was trying to do a search today on "77 p-bass" before I posted my thread up in basses, and it wouldn't let me search because every word must have a minumum of 3 letters. I'm sure there are lots of people who have run into this similar problem. Is there anyway you could change that? Sorry I can't find a way to phrase that without sounding pushy, whiny, ect.

Going down to 2 will increase the search index dramatically, and increase server loads for every search - sorry, 3 characters is as low as it can go

| | | | Try "77 p-bass" and include the quotation marks. Works for anything under three letters as long there is another term to connect with the first.
"NS Design"
"I P Freely"
