    Lightbulb searching for three letter words...

    Hello,

    I was wondering why it isn't possible to search for three letter terms. I know this reduces overhead in many situations, but when you try to run a forum with information about a programming language which has about 7 statements and 10 math operators which are presented by three letter words, then you really miss out on something.

    I personaly think it' s better to limit the searches to three letters minimum, but then again, it may be just me, looking for such weird terms like PWM, SUM and so on...

    Regards,
    Steve

    It Is possible, just add * to the end of your 3 letter search, co LCD becomes LCD*, PWM becomes PWM*.
