Why can't the Search function use words with less than 4 characters- like Neo, Geo, AES, MVS, SNK, ADK, CDZ, KOF, MAS, NGH, NOS, PCB, RGB, ROM, SVC, etc.
It's so f***ing annoying. Google has no problem with words less than 4 characters.

Even if it would let you, you would spend an eternity going through threads.

what do you mean, that I would do that? or that it would still be hard to find anything?

There are too many threads/posts containing those words so they are not really useful for searching. It's likde googling "the".

Regards.

The latter. I don't know what you do with your time.

I need to find better uses of my time, than searching for posts/threads, and posting on a message board.

I just tried googling "the", and got 25 billion results. I searched for "a", and it was the same no. of results. So, 25,270,000,000 must be the limit on how many results it can give you.

So you can't buy anything good in the Marketplace and you think the search function sucks. Anything else about this place you don't like?

I vote Joe8 can and should use the Fword wherever he wants its not like its not right over there as part of his rank anyhow so censoring it is futile

I knew that, the can part was for the bosses and the should part, it seems you listened to.

That's weird! I search for "tard" and it shows me a list of all of joe8's posts.

:scratch: Yeah I thought that especially after you said you were(middle post). it makes it confusing when you suggest it wasn't you (last quoted post) but that middle one used to have it spelled out...is a mod actually censoring the Fword out even if its pretty much part of your name?:spock:

Joe8 confuses me! if anyone should be able to understand him...
