The search tool on this forum cannot search for short strings like UHA and GZ.
As these are recognized file extensions, like ZIP and RAR, perhaps somebody can get this changed.

Hello FUBARinSFO,
As this is a site wide limitation\board issue, I have moved this from the Eset forum and placed it here in our General Forum for appropriatness.
As noted in the below quote from this thread (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=106984), vBulletin forum software does have limitations.
-{ Quote: "Unfortunately, the integrated search capabilities in vBulletin have several limitations which are based upon a resource versus usability trade-off. To index all 3 letter words would take too much resource, so it cuts off at words of 4 characters and longer. However, you can get Google to do the search for you...
Enter this exactly in Google search box: "ace utilities" site:wilderssecurity.com
Results link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22ace+utilities%22+site%3Awilderssecurity.com" }-Bubba
