In the forum search box, words must be at least 6 letters. I think this is new, and definitely is bothersome.

I've never been able to use this forum's search properly.. Tried looking for a graphics thread where I ran a competition for my current avatar once, tried dozens of search parameters, never did find it..

Yeah, it's really a bad idea, especially for new players like me trying to find information on the forums. Try searching for 'titan', 'quest', 'Krull' or 'elite' with a 6-letter min restriction... I end up combing through the thread titles manually in order to find something.

4 min letters (or 3 letters and prune common words before searching) + 20-30 sec interval between searches would be a better restriction, it's what I've seen on many other forums and if it works ok there, maybe it will work here as well.
