Hello,
Just wondering - why the four character minimum on search criteria? I'd like to search for threads containing discussion about sed. Tried sed* and stream editor with no results.

The reason, as I understand the forum software, is so the back-end database is not overly hammered and file buffers, etc. are not overflowed with incrediblely small matches.
I will check into reducing this to three and ask the vBulletin developers how this might effect the site performance. Thanks for asking. Please be patient as I'm overloaded with bill-paying projects
By request, the minimum string length for a search is now three.
Thanks, Neo. Maybe more people will be inclined to search first now.
Thank you Neo! I've been wondering the same thing myself but never spoke up! That is greatly appreciated!
