search function?

[canarlee]

i am trying to find a thread using "search" and i get the response i have cut and pasted below???



"The search term you specified (me) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific."



WTF? how does "the trade me questions thread" work out to be less than the minimum word length of 3?

Read the error message you posted. It answers your question. This read this.

It's all in the way you search.

Firstly, I believe it's "TradeMe", not "Trade Me". The latter will search for all threads that have the words Trade and Me - too vague.

If searching for an exact phrase, use quotation marks around the phrase. The search engine will then only produce those exact results.

Do a search for "Trademe questions" (with the quotation marks), it should give you what you're looking for.
