Is there anyway I can make a search of the forums for a word under four letters? I recall reading a work around somewhere but i've been unable to locate. I'm just trying to locate a general PC gaming thread in G&T, if anyone knows the work around or the title of the thread it'd be greatly appreciated.

    Add an asterisk. If searching for "foo," try "foo*".

    Edit: never mind, that doesn't actually work. Curse you, search engine.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    Yeah I gave that a shot and a few other characters, but no luck so far.

    Google search with the site option set to here? It's better than nothing.

    Exactly what kind of word is it you're looking for? If you know what it starts with, worst case scenario you could check a dictionary.

    Doesn't work, google doesn't index the forums for some reason.
