everytime i click the search button to try to find somthing...
the word has to be 4 letters long. i just tried searching a thread between whats beter, a k&n or uni filter... and it couldnt find it cause of the whole 4 letters thing.


anyway you could change that? :confused:

it just puts in like a variable, the * represents any character

The "*" is a wildcard, just like in DOS.

I AGREE! I mean you can even look for the word oil, or hot, or quad. Needs to be taken off

Hmm, I can do a search on every single word that was listed there. For TC you type in *TC*, for PEP you type in *PEP or PEP*, for CT you type *CT*, etc. The trouble with searching for words that small is that ANY word that has TC or CT in the spelling are going to come up. For example, you search for TC and you're going to find the word "maTCh", "caTCh", etc.

thats true but is there a way to have an exact match like nothing before or after just TC. I dunno if its possible but i thought id just ask.

Sorry guys but if I allow three letter searches the database will slow down considerably - making us all unhappy campers!
