Am I the only one that wants to search for 2 or 3 letter things? Everyone who`s tried knows the search function doesn`t let you do it. For example, I want to know what others think of Meg`s #9 and can`t do a search for it.

I agree that the Autopia search engine is very limiting! Try using a * as a wildcard character; e.g. SG*, to help search for articles that contain product acronyms. The search engine unfornately always requires 3 characters.

I meant search for the acronyms themselves within threads/posts, not the meaning of them. Sorry the subject was misleading.
