Default New Search Engine is Sub Par.

I search for 3 letter stuff all the time! What is with this 4 letter minimum crap! Just forget trying to find LS1, LS6, LS7, AFR, ABS, ATP, and a million others.

Thumbs down

Doesn't help in the programming forum either. Searching for IAC, TPS, WOT, PCM, etc isn't available. Not many folks feel the need to type these acronyms out.

Guess you guys missed the other search thread.. I have to do a full search table reindex (which will take several days with over 3/4 MILLION posts).. Once that's done, it will allow short search terms.
