Default A problem with the forum's search engine

I tried to do a search on "ace utilities" but the search engine excluded the word "ace" saying that the word is too short. Therefore the search was done for the word "utilities" only, which produced waaay too many inapplicable hits.

Is there a way to search for "ace utilities" without having this problem?

aloha...... bellgamin

Default Re: A problem with the forum's search engine

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...rssecurity.com
