    Ok this is getting annoying how can we search for anything if we cant search with any words less 3 letters?!

    For example im searching for God of War renders, all three words are 3 letters or less, its ridicolous becuase I know many other games are have words with 3 letters or less. The only way i can search for God of War renders is like "GodofWar" and i only get two results, i know theres way more than that.

    I have had this problem with searching for other games also...
    im sure there may be good reason why the search is like this but it is really annoying.


    Thanks
    ps sorry for the grammatical/spelling mistakes, i have been sick latley and am tired.

    I agree. I think it should be removed, as it can be really annoying.

    yea, if you try to look up 50 cent or some rappers with short names, it can really be a problem

    they should just make it so u cant look up jpg or html or stuff like that

    exactly, agree.
    Hopefully a mod will read this, and take it in to consideration

    Invision Power Boards only allow a minimum of 4 characters to be searched, this is hardcoded into IPB and there is no option to allow 3 or less characters to be searched.

    Can't really be fixed as its built into IPB, best way might be to post it in renders request, some people would be helpful to post all of the related renders they have into one post.
