Searching for three characters not allowed? - Blu-ray Forum

Living Near Shamu · 07-02-2008, 08:55 PM

Is it possible to allow the search function to search for 3 characters? When doing a search in the trading forum, and you enter words such as ice age or gta or cod, the results are invalid because there's too few characters involved. Any chance to allow for the space to be a character or maybe use the + sign? Usually GTA is followed by IV and Ice by Age.

Mods, let me know if there's a way to search these that maybe I'm overlooking

Thanks!

It's a vBulletin thing. vB search is t3h_suxx0r.

It's the way vBulletin (the forum software) search works.

Adding an * might help. As in GTA*

Gah, you're telling me it's frustrating, I can never find trade threads that have the movie Ice Age in them cuz it's too short. And everyone makes Age threads in the off-topic forum cuz you can't search for the 40,000 other ones that preceded.

vBulletin. Sheesh!

On some forums its do-able but frustrating on forums that do not have the software.
