The word letter limit for searches gets really annoying, like if you type in any word under four letters, it does not include them in the search.

It's interfered in probably plenty of searches.

Be bold with your searches, you will get better results.

Use a single "key Word" to search with.

I had trouble with 'Hank Williams III'. I was looking to see if I should add them to AW, but it doesn't seem worth it if you cannot distinguish between the old man, Jr and III. :pirate:

Are we talking about the download site or the forum?

With the forum, simply search for Hank, then do sub searches within the results.

Sorry Rudolph. Not sure what I'm talking about. I think slashe50 means the forum. I meant the download site but having checked I see that's wrong. Pardon me. :D

Unfortunately, we are restricted by the search engines designed into the different versions of vBulletin.

We do have a little control whereas we can limit the size of the word being searched. I have set the size to three letters, anything less is ridiculous, as you would not want to include one or two letter words in the search results. (so it an a etc the ).
