Forum Search ?

Why does it remove 3 letter words from the search?
I try to search for Tank bib and it says it removes bib because it is a 3 letter word?
Then it searches for tank, and finds way more than I want.

If you ask me the search feature is useless...

+1 on that. I've never been able to find anything using the search feature. If I vaguely remember when a topic was discussed, I'll page back through the threads. Otherwise, no success with the search button.

The only person on here who can use the search feature is Wolfman. He can find an old thread in short order.
i don't know how he does it, i think the feature is useless also.

This, the generally lame search feature, has come up a couple times before. No explanation, just a ProBoards thing that we are stuck with, I guess. To bad since there is lot of good information here getting lost to the masses.

The forum software has a poor search engine, IMHO. I can't figure out why it has a 4 letter word minimum.
