why can you not search for words less than 3 letters?

Recommended Posts

Trying to search for 'Ed Psych', or 'Eye tracking' or eye test or AS or ASD or NT or NAS would be so much easier and bring up a more detailed search than say - psych, or tracking, test or (how many people actually write asperger syndrom, or autistic spectrum disorder, or neuro-typical, or national autistic society, or the full word of the many, many abbrieviations that are used on this forum.

 

I understand that if the most common words 'The', 'And', 'it', 'or' etc are seached for it would bring up every single post, but just putting a " " around the phrase you are searching for would solve that (in theory).

I agree that this aspect of the search engine is frustrating but I don't know if anything can be done.

 

Lufty, Kris, can the search facility be changed to accommodate 3 letters or less, or specific terms such as ASD, AS etc?

The only problem that I can see with specifically searching for AS is that it will come up with all the results from messages with the word as in as I don't think it differentiates between AS and as.
