Search function drives me batty
OK. I'm very familiar with doing searches on the Internet. But the search function on this site is useless to me. I have tried several times but have never conducted a successful search. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
No matter what I try to search, no matter how long the string of words, no matter how short the string of words, I get a response that says that my search string (???) (replace question marks with the last word I put into my search string) is less than the minimum string of four words.
Grrr. What's the deal?

The letter limit is to save bandwith.
But I agree, the search feature is pretty useless and I rarely bother with it. I usually just skim a page or two of the forum before posting, if it's a duplicate the mods can close it.

Still, I agree. The search function is pretty bad.
