If I try to search for posts about EZ Antivirus by entering "ez" it is rejected by Wilder's search engine as being too short. If I search instead for "ez antivirus" it gets some hits, but misses some that I know exist.

Is there a solution?

No, I'm afraid the embedded search here just can't index all 2 character words efficiently, so we don't even try. But, you can use google to search back to here which should get a fair number of hits:

-{ Quote: "another search item that has this problem is a²." }-As Mike alluded to....almost ALL "2 character words" will come up empty....but....using his Google example....A2 has many hits for Wilders 8)
