Search improvement.

Not that this one is bad at all I just feel it has room for improvement. Like the 3 character minimum. Its hard to search for t5 gone bad or, v66, v8. I realize some 1-2 characters can screw up a search and find too many results but can you filter for these few words? Also, can you exclude searching through user signatures or at least make it an option. Just some helpful suggestions. I am by no means complaining, I love this site .

I really really hate that darn search button.

I just had a chat not that long ago, a week or two about 30w oil and gear lub. Be ----- if I can find it. Geese Id like to slap the person around with a 2x4 who designed it like that.
They had no idea what a PITA it could be ans is.

Or a longer shot

Might try going into your Usercp and then viewing the threads under "Subscribed Threads" and setting the "Show threads from" far enough to get the data. That is if you use email notification. If not, it won't store it there.

That function changes in vB3, though.
