ChAiNz.2da Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hey Guys & Gals, First off, I didn't know if this belonged here or here: http://www.lucasforums.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=217 But, my question was really just pertaining to Holowan Laboratories. My question, is there any way to make the default search phrase use 3 letter instead of a minimum of 4? Alot of modding terms are only 3 letters in length (GFF, uti, utc, utp, KSE, 2da, etc...). It makes for more specific searches virtually impossible... (most posts don't use the "." in front of the exension) I understand the Search Engines are a luxury anyway as it sucks up alot of bandwidth (and often times fluctuate between up & downtimes)... Just wondering though if it was a possibility. I wasn't sure if you could only change the criteria for specific board's search engines or if it were "Global" with all of the LucasForums Boards.. p.s. Moderators, if you think this should be posted elsewhere, let me know and I'll kill the thread... or feel free to move or 'copy' the post to proper areas...

stingerhs Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 you could use a google site search. its in the "Advanced Search" area. just type in the lucasforums webpage. its really fast and you can use as many characters as you like. i should know: i've tried it before, and it does work.
