if you only enter three letters in the thread-search, GR rejects it? Why am I not allowed to search for those threads about: USA, TNA, Kew, BMD... ?

Can't look for IGI either.............I queried this with GR some time ago........ Their response was to the effect that a three letter search would give 'too many results'.........and 'what is the IGI?' Nuff said............... Reg

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's weird - BUT Just had a go wit hputting a space after (e.g.) Kew - i.e. ''Kew ''... I got that message about longer words, but it still came up with a list of Kew results! - same with TNA! Now that IS weird! Christine

In fact I did it without the space just now and it all went through without the message and no probs! Is somebody taking notice of the clientele's wishes???? Christine
