i wonder whether or not it's because it puts too much load on a server returning so many possible queries ..

i guess you can still use the wildcard asterisks (*) for now to do 3 characters ..

if you look at the number of common 3 letter words there are such as and, for, one, two etc and how many times they are mentioned in a thread, having the search engine having to sort through them to find a specific 3 lettered word would create more drain on the server, which is allready under stress from the high amound of people using the forums. in a ideal world it would happen, but at the moment it cant happen, if the min search word was reduced to say 2 letters then it would make the forums significantly slower when a search is conducted

i hav no trouble finding pvd tracklists. If u want to search for paul van dyk at mayday 2003 for example just type "Paul Mayday" Ok ur gonna get about 3 or 4 pages more than u usually would, but it only takes a second to find the thread u need... the real problem tho comes when searching for Jon O Bir threads
