I don't know about this forum in particular, but on most other forums I find it rather unhandy because the forum search does not allow to use short keywords (down to 2 characters). This makes it impossible to search for particular phrases such as Windows XP, because the XP will automatically get excluded from search for being too short and therefore the search can return a whole lot of irrelevant search results. Lowering the limit on keyword length down to 2 characters actually allows users to find what they are looking for.

I would like to hear the admin opinions on this matter.
