Useable search feature

[DiskDoctr]

Ever try to use the search feature? Try looking up "cv boot"

Here's the response.

The search term you specified (cv) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.

Try to look up anything about 17 inch tires? Again, "17" is less than 3 characters.

I would STRONGLY suggest this limitation be removed, as it is cripples many a search.

* As much as I like to read 1000 posts at a clip, I don't really want to do that each time I am looking for some info

The search function has not been at its best for some time.

Anyone?
Is there a way to have a Google search function built into the site?

You can use wildcards, so instead of "cv" put in "cv*".

As far as the requests for building Google search into the site, why not just use Google to do your searches. Been discussed several times and the hints are in a sticky: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?threadid=43046

Admittedly, the search engine on the site has difficulty -- also discussed many times. But for some reason the site owner hasn't been able to figure out the problem.
