Fix the search function so that you can search for 3 letter words.

See, now thats a 4-letter word, so although most people don't like it, at least they could effectively search for it.
"ban"
See, now that's only three letters, so if someone wanted to do some research on that, ............
.....but I'm serious.

In the meantime if you want to improve the incoming threads. Teach members and educate yourself on how to title a thread properly.
Title the thread on what you are looking for instead of Newb needs help, Quick question, Turbo?, No power, etc.....
If you title threads better you will notice at the bottom of the page after you start your thread or are viewing another thread there will be 5 additional related threads on the topic.
I'm not saying that this is a cure all but the computer at this time recognizes key words and attempts to group those words with related threads.

How about never.
Maybe in the next upgrade, but frankly I don't see the point.
And no matter, what it is not gonna happen in the very near future. So you can keep bumping, but you'll just look like a spoiled child that wants his or her way.

Bump, how can you not see the point in something that has been threaded multiple times already since the upgrade. Also why can it not happen. It seemed like in the earlier thread it was a matter of entering individual 3 or 2 digit search words. A lot of 2 and 3 letter words and acronyms are used in searches that will not come up any other way. I guess the mods need to be nice to newbs when they post threads that have been covered and can't be found in searches based off this issue.

Exactly!
I really can't understand how the mods don't see the value of having a properly working search engine? Especially since it just makes their jobs harder because people will keep creating the same threads over and over again asking questions that could easily be answered if only the search engine wasn't carp!

I just tried to search for BNR result = 0 finds.
Then tried to search for BNR Turbo result = looooong wait and every thread that contains "turbo" returned. Search is almost useless if three letter words are ignored.
Searching for quoted "BNR Turbo" is quicker and brings results. But I am sure it is missing threads/posts where just the acronym BNR is used.
