hey guys,
I'm having a problem searching the forums...my search requests never pull up any results...for example Im looking for info on USB problems in bootcamp...I tried searching the other OS section and then the entire forum for "USB" and nothing came up...obviously I am doing something wrong here

The forums have a limit on the lengths of phrases that you can perform a search on. The smallest the forum will allow is 4, so 3 (USB) will bring you back an error.
Moving to feedback for you.

I never understood why the Google hampstor can index three letter words at MacNN, but the MacNN hampstor is not able to do so.

I agree in this day and age, Macnn cannot do smaller searches. I've been hampered a number of times because the word I was looking for was < 4 characters

The forum search is totally lame, but luckily you can use google - there's not much point putting effort into improving the forum search when there is no reason not to use a better, easier external search.
