have you tried putting a * at the beginning or end of the word you're looking for?

(ex. if you are looking for "pie" put in "pie*")

Using the * has always helped me

Yeah, that frustrates me a lot! If I want to search for an old thread, I would have to enter words that are 4+ characters. It is ridiculous!

Texas*princess, I should try that suggestion. However, I have a quick question. Do you have to put two *s if the word has only two characters? Just curious!

YES!!!

This is a major pet peeve. I wish that search engine would at least except the two and three letter names of greek letters. It can reject all other two and three letter words, and I would be happy.
