This something I hate on forums! Some time ago I was searching for an art thread I started, now of course, the search engine didnt accept the 'art thread' search.

To search for 3 letter words, use the wild card *,

So to search for GWX, use GWX*, to find ART THREAD, use ART* THREAD...(also, in the art thread case use the +, which will find all threads with both words, not threads with each word separately, ART*+THREAD.)

I had no idea. What a fantastic piece of advise.
