ugh...what's really been pissing me off is how you have to enter words that are four letters + in the search bar. it's hard when you're trying to search something with "the", "or", "an", and other short, common words. a lot of the time i don't get the same results or any results at all if i just enter one word because i can't put "the" in. i think it'd be better if there was either no word letter minimum, or the minimum should be 2 or 3 letters. four is a little high IMO.

i have an idea of solving this!

everyone types keywords the the begining of thier topic.

however, if there are any words with less than three letters, the letters que are added.

so, like if the topic's about dogs.

then you'd type dogque in your post as a keyword

so when someone wants to search for it, they can type dogque.

lol. i like the idea =) sometimes i'd get so angry when i can't search words that are 3 letters. Maybe the limit should be lower.
