Thread: Searching for TLA's on MyADSL

  1. #1

    Exclamation Searching for TLA's on MyADSL

    I sent this through the 'contact us' channels, to no avail, so I'm repeating my plea here...

    In an industry dominated by TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms), the minimum search length for these forums should be three, not four.

    Searching for stuff like GPS, USB, PLC, BPL etc is impossible!

    Please can the admins look into fixing this?!

    This Forum's search facility does not work lekka anyway.
    Use google to search :
    e.g. http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en...G=Search&meta=

    Sample Search string : site:www.mybroadband.co.za TCP

    The admins did the "teach google to spider" this forum ages ago.

    As far as I know it is possible to do that bwana ^_^ I imagine it requires some editing of headers

    As would I. I use the search bar in Safari but it would be nice to have.
