Search tool minimum letter limit? Quotation marked phrases still scattered up?
Yes, I just started wanting to post about this now, although I've encountered this problem way back, since the first months of my joining this forum.

My question is, how do I circumvent the Search function's wanting my words to be at least "3 characters long"? This is a bit annoying since I can't search things like "SJ Sathanas" ("SJ" contains only 2 words).

Also, by the way, quoting phrases/sentences in order to get the exact phrase/sentence doesn't seem to work. For example, if I type "Sathanas dispatched our fleet", and with the "Match all words" choice, with the "Show Results as messages" box checked (so the results won't appear in title-only form), it still shows results with the words in the phrase/sentence scattered.

How can I solve this problem? Thanks.
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

Forum search utilities always suck, so my first guess is that you can do nothing.

But didn't one of the boxes do a Google domain search? Maybe that still works.
