why is there a 4 chars at minimum for each search term? this is very inconvenient. for example i want to search for 'compressed air' but it tells me that i have a search term that is less than 4 chars. and if i discard the word 'air', the results returned are mainly irrelevant to what i want to find. i have to post a new topic to ask about this. isn't that 'search before you ask' is a good practice in all forums? but why is there such a limitation that makes searching so inconvenient?
