Search Now Useless?

I tried to search EOT Sensor,

and it said under 4 word minimun,

so I put in Engine Oil Temp Sensor, (which I never see it expressed as),

and it said "oil" under 4 word minimun,



So you can't search using acronymns?

or common words like "oil" for that matter?



What am I missing?

this happens on another site I visit with this same set up. it's pretty stupid if you ask me, you can't search words with less than 4 letters

oil
tie rod
PCM
CPS
tip
lug nut
cup

those are just a few examples there are obviously a lot more!!

I was hoping that the search function would be improved with the new format.

The search didn't work for three letter words in UBB.threads, either... It just didn't tell you that.
