What happened to “Search?”

[Rory Bellows]

I used to be able to search three-letter strings without a problem (i.e. UPS).

Lately, UPS is not a valid search. Instead, you must search UPS*, which results in tons of irrelevant returns (ie. UPSet, UPSide, groUPS, etc).

Anyone know what’s up?

I think it was done to reduce server load...

But it is as annoying as hell...with a site like this that is so advertising heavy I don't think it should be that way.

Try the search now and let me know if it works better.

Websitemaster,

I tried again. It did accept the 3 letter search string, but (since we're using UPS as an example), it wasn't very accurate.

The results omitted a ton of recent threads that include "UPS" in the body.
