When I do a search the system asks for 4 words or more...this isnt always feasable. maybe a change to 1 or 2 words for a search.

Yeah it says you have to have at least 4 letters in a word and there have been a few times when the word I search for is only 3 letters.

yeah that was my point.....maybe a 1 word search would be better

yes. this has happened to me several times. A 1 letter search would be best.

Leo has already gone over this. He said that anything less than 3 would take more from the server. In other words, it would hurt more than help

It is annoying that you have to use 4 letters. But you can also use wilcards (*). So if you want to do a search for dg, type in *dg*. The down side to this is that you will get results from EVERY post that has a word with dg in it.
