Well,...just went to do a little search after no having been on for a while, and I see this new message that there is now a four word minimun to the search feature? I just wanted to find the latest update on the latest 4 banger meeting, and, even after trying the phrase "4 banger meeting december",..it still wont recognize it.

I keep getting the message,...

"The search term you specified (4) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific."

...but the subject header almost always has a "4" in it,....I can even add other words to it and I just keep getting the same thing??

Its just my opinion mind you, but I thought the general idea when making inprovements is to make things easier, with less steps, faster, etc. Anyone else having issues or glitches with finding things with the search the way it is now??:rolleyes:

we didn't fix it... we upgraded... I just need to fox the minimum letter thing.

Another way to search is by using Google.com. Enter:

hot rods site:jalopyjournal.com

Where "hot rods" is your search term.

Yeah i think its just the number thing that threw the search off,....no that's cool, I was just perplexed when it kept giving me that message,....I was wondering what was going on. Thanks Ryan! Thanks guys. Merry Christmas!
