About search....
Hey Jeremy!
One quick question.... How do I search for a phrase containing words with less than 3 characters???? I wanted to search the forum for the phrase "CD burner". I tried double quotes, single quotes and no quotes and it wudn't search 'cos CD is not > 3 characters in length....
How do I perform the search for such phrases????

The search is limited to 3 character words or more. I felt 3 was a good balance between a huge index and good results.

Try searching for CDR, CDRW, the make of your burner, burner, or even writer.
