Maybe vBulletin doesn't have that option, or they would have changed it already? I know it's a standard "flood control" option in many other boards (ie, phpBB).

Until then, try adding a "*" at the end of your 3-letter search. You'll likely get more matches than you intended, but it's better than none.

Don't worry about the search - it's so much easier to just ignore recent posts and start your own thread!

To get around the 3 letter roadblock we should no longer allow the use of 3-letter-words in thread titles. I suggest the following replacements for common acronyms:
DVD = DVDD (just like a child would call it)
DTS = DTSS (make a snake sound when saying this)
OAR = OARR (pretend you're Jack Sparrow)
MGM = MGMM (mmm good release!)
OOP = OOPP (Out Of Print, Phooey)
