A problem with searching the forum
G'day folks,
I'm having a problem when I'm searching the forum for threads related to tamiyas FXX, and I was wondering if it was a known issue, or if it was my own special problem. I've tried searching for fxx, FXX and Fxx to no avail, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Smokey

Re: A problem with searching the forum
The search feature won't accept anything under 4 letters long:
IE: BMF = no good FXX = no good Air = no good This isn't just with you... It's a setting that, if I remember correctly, helps the search system work better.

Re: A problem with searching the forum
Try this:
You can use Google to search only the AF domain for "FXX" and if you add in the string "Car Modeling" (which appears at the top of each page in the main and sub-forums) you should get some pretty valid results. Search string: [ FXX "Car Modeling" site:automotiveforums.com ] URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=FXX+%...veforums%2ecom Last edited by Jay!; 08-17-2007 at 08:39 PM.

Re: A problem with searching the forum
Excellent work Jay, thanks very much
 It's a pity that so many cars are known by tla's, maybe we should petition manufacturers to use a minimum of 4 characters when naming new models??
