I think you know the answer already.

Yeah, Google searching through a specific site is a super handy tool. Although, I've never tried using it for here... why? I dunno.

As V suggested in the other thread, I tried searching for "MAF" (with the quotations), and still got nothing.

Sorry guys, my mistake I meant to say *maf*. Lookie here: SR20 Community Forum - The Dash - Search Results

I'll edit my post in the other thread.

For those that are not computer literate, star means wildecard. Basically even if someone has LOOKatmyMAFhere it should still pick up on it.

That's the exact problem with that method. Knowing we should use the wild cards will help a lot, but it would still be nice to have proper 3 and 2 character searching.

If I want to search for "VE" with your method, I'll get a bunch of results with "move" and "behoove" and "love" and "dove" in them. =P
