As a new Autopia member, I'm getting closer and closer to purchasing a PC. I want to learn as much as possible but don't want to inundate the board with repetitive questions. How do I use the search function with the term "PC"? Apparently, search terms have to have at least 3 letters. For instance, I want to find all threads with titles that include "clay" and "PC"... | |

When you click on Search, there is an option to "Search titles only." I've used this many times when I only wanted "major" posts on a particular subject. And for PC, as others said, you can try PC* or *PC or porter* ... any one of those should work!
