What is this?
A search engine limiting my word length? What the #)_*$)(#*
The search term you specified (spy) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
You have to change this.

Another three-letter "word" is "faq". It is not a word of course but it is a frequently-used acronym. We all know what it is, except for the "vBulletin guys". So for them, I will explain that FAQ means "Frequently Asked Question". Use of the acronym is so common that searching for "frequently asked question" is likely to miss many hits.

Is the minimum word length something that can be modified in the vBulletin system configuration or does it require an enhancement to the source code? Is the source code provided with purchase of the software or is it a feature that needs to be applied by the vendor of the vBulletin system?
