Default crap search function

im trying to find info on tps wiring...

but when I enter TPS in the search box it say:
"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : TPS"

great!!

but when I enter "EA" it returns heaps of results......what?
why does it not include TPS but includes EA...

Try typing TPS* in the search function and see what that does...

Also there was a similar thread on this a while ago:

All forum search functions are useless. You can never get exactly what you want.

I would really hate for you to make a break from the tone of your current posts, but try to rephrase your keyboard hero approach and make some suggestions as to improvements, you may get a better response

3 letter (or less) searches (like tps, lpg, ea, etc) can be specified to be searchable in the forum software, even though they are too short for the regular search limit...
