Search not working when doing a search for "3d"

[lotk.com]

Am I missing something here... I'm trying to search for 3d to look at a thread from a while ago, but I always get no results. Any idea?

It could be setup from Vbulletin. Minimum is 3 characters.

Just found it under Admin

Message Searching Options
Search Index Minimum Word Length

Either DCG or Impactadmin can make this change.

Problem is that if it were set to two chrs, or god forbid just one, it would cause an unbelievable load of the sql engine. Imagine searching for the letter "a", it would result in almost every thread and/or post being indexed as a search result.

You are exactly right. There is a warning from the options if you set it to 2.

Maybe this is a Platinum member only feature

(but honestly it does work for me, so I dunno)
