Two character searching
Why is it that this forum cannot allow for 2 character searching? I realize small common words may need a filter but *all* of the corvettes are designated by two characters, c1 through c8 and we cannot do a direct generation search without getting this error:
you can do a two character ("c7" e.g.) search on ebay, amazon, google etc and it pulls up the relevant info, why can't this forum allow for the same?
can the search be coded to not filter out specifically c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6,c7, c8 and future generation designations?
we can search for "c6z" without issue but searching for "c6" will be filtered and not result in anything...its a bit frustrating.
thanks.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: c5, c6

Smaller words take longer to search for as they are more common.
Given that search has long been part of Google's business model, and they also have a little more resources, of course Google can do it. In fact, you can use Google to search CorvetteForum by simply going to Google and typing in your keywords and then adding site:corvetteforum.com

thank you for looking into the possibility.
if there's any way to allow for just the current "c1" thru "c8" two character searches to not be filtered, it would help the forum tremendously.
