Thumbs down Can't search forum for short strings: UHA, GZ

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, vBulletin forum software does have limitations.

Enter this exactly in Google search box: "ace utilities" site:wilderssecurity.com
