I like to use Yahoo advanced search.
You can Search any Specific site for a list of things.

3 letters or less are not searchable context ON ANY typical bulletin board in existence on the web. For example go to the Unimog forum at benzworld and try to search for information on models 404, 416, 411, U19, SEE and you'll see it can't be done. Goe to any Datsun discussion board and search for 311, 510, 620, 521, and you'll be equally screwed.

Another words this issue is World Web wide issue with bulletin board searching.

So use as others suggested the Advanced search service of big name search engines be it Google, Bing etc. Honestly BXray, didn't know Yahoo had one too so as he suggest give them a go as well.

An apparent exception- three letter search works here:

Not that that helps the original poster.

Was excited there might be a new bulletin board software company that allowed for 3 letter searches. Unfortunately, it seems your half right. Searched the discussion board suggested for various nonsense and full word 3 letter combinations only and majority displayed 1C205/3 ERROR as the result. BUTTT. some actually worked. Maybe that software allows the administrator to list certain 3 letter combinations as searchable strings? Very interesting.

Searched using single term of PC3, HCL, Gun, Ray, Dog, Tow and each produced an "1C205/3 Error".
"Space" worked fine but it is 4 letters. Bad, Toy, Boy each worked... strange. never seen this. Interesting

That's weird.

Vbulletin allows it, but it takes a few steps:

Very good info. A huge majority of technical bulletin boards like this one run off of V Bulletin. I'll pass it on. THANX
