Thumbs down Search: Disable Common/Short word ignore

PLEASE turn off the common/short word ignore option on the search function.

If I want to do a search for "1g blow off valve", I don't need the search engine telling me that "1g" is too short and I end up with a search result about the MOST COMMON DISCUSSION ON THE FORUM. I need to search for 1g specifically.

Also if I want to do a search for "best blow off valve", I don't need the search engine telling me that "best" is too common and I end up with a search result about the MOST COMMON DISCUSSION ON THE FORUM.

With so many people asking the same questions over and over, and so many regulars yelling for them to "Use the search feature!", it would cut down on a lot of the bickering.

Google to the rescue!!

Google allows you to search a specific website, and doesnt care what you search for.

just go to www.google.com, and put this in the search field:
Code:
1g bov site:forums.evolutionm.net
worked for me!

It would be nice to have the option to disable/enable this function. Perhaps just a checkbox under the advanced search feature to disable it.

Good workaround! Thanks!

I do agree with the original poster though!

not sure if you noticed the huge thread or not... but the site admin/owner died... give it a bit before anything changes.
