I recently needed to find information about available 3rd party help compilers. I first tried to search the forum for chm compiler. But, three letter words are not permitted in searches, so I received a huge list of messages with only the word compiler in them. I then tried to search for help compiler, but was informed that the word help is too common and would not be included in my search. I realize that is a common word in a help forum, but why cant I have the option of including it in my search? It may take me a few tries, but I think I could whittle the results down to where I can find what Im looking for. And, why cant we search for 3 letter words? In other forums, it might make sense to exclude them, but in a programming forum? ( ASP, PHP, EXE, CHM, VBC, GDI, DLL, etc. )
Having said that, I will say this: I love this forum. I have learned so much from all the extremely knowledgeable people here. After I start Visual Studio each day, the very next thing I do is open my browser and come here. I use this as a programming tool as much as I use MSDN. So, I do a lot of searches here. That is why I mention the above issue.
