I know the frustration but once you learn how to get round the character number issue it can be a great resource :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Because 3 letter keywords are ignored in the final query agianst the database, It is possible for both mysql and IPB to change these settings to work with 3 or less characters.

This is why I recommend our fearless leaders look into Lucene plugin.

I just use Google to search RWG anymore.

Here you go:

site:rwgforum.com GMT II

All I get is this thread. :bangin:

That's odd. Make sure you have selected Forums next to the search term (it defaults to "This Forum") That would be why you only get this thread. :D

When I do a search through Forums and type in GMT Master I get 728 posts

I did that and same ol same ol but, the site:rwgforum.com did the trick!

Someone really needs to fix it. A lot of people have problems besides myself. Might help the noobs and goons like me from asking redundant questions! We all would like that

just a suggestion, the limit for 3 characters perhaps should be removed. sometimes the 2 characters is useful ,eg. sinn u2 , gmt ii, dssd v5 and so on.

where the 2 char may be the model number. just searching the base word may return a lot more than what i'm looking for.

+1. This should be a simple change in a PHP file.

This topic has been covered many times. Try using the search function next time and save the bandwidth for important posts..........like mine :black_eye:

Seriously!

How often does someone ask a question, and someone harps back "use the search function"?

In reality, the question-asker probably already tried the search function and was c0ck-blocked because it is practically useless.
