Most searches have the default of Everywhere option. Searching a 3 letter word with default option will bring up no results. Do not search at the home page, you will not see the threads options.

1 For this test i went inside Perth Privates thread to search "liz". Attached is the search criteria. Search on either "This forum" or "Threads" worked.
Here are the results.


It takes a while so patience needed.
Do not choose Everywhere as it is too hard for the machine and it will come up No results.

3 For test 3 i tried mia* in Amps & brothels. Better results. What do you think?
It brought up 4 results and all 4 have mia including quoting mia in the reply.
So try the wildcard * at the end of your 3 letters. Attached is screenshot of search criteria.

It works if you go to state threads like Perth WA thread. Problems with using wildcard * are it finds any words beginning with those 3 letters.
Mia* brings up - Mia ,Miami and mian (someone mispelt main) etc.

Sua* brings up - Sua ,Suanne etc

Bec* brings up - Bec ,Beck, because etc
