(Viewed 183 times) tnarduzzi  Location: Nevernever, LD, Canada Gender: Male  |  Whats wrong with "Search"? < on 5/10/2004 12:52 AM >   I'm not exactly sure why, but when I search for "TTC" I get "Found 0 results. Displaying 1 to 20:". Just wondering why TTC is not recognized?

I think the old slow search should be re-instated as an option, when someone searches for a three letter word. There are a lot of them! This is limiting.

This is unchangable, unfortunately. It was brouhgt up a while back when someone wondered why "UEM" didn't return any results. there's a really simple way around it (apologies if this was covered 'a while back'). for any string of 3 or less characters, just add an asterisk at the end of your string. so searching for "ttc" or "uem" won't work, but "ttc*" or "uem*" will.

Neat. Maybe I'll have to do a search for UEM so I can take a look... edit: of course, you're probably just posing, so you can get a hit to your site...

Locked! "Because there's no possibility of real disaster, real risk, we're left with no chance for real salvation. Real elation. Real excitement. Joy. Discovery. Invention. The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom. Without access to true chaos, we'll never have true peace.
