I understand the letter limit on words to search for but perhaps make an exception for MP3?
What you reckon?
Beacuse most people in the headers etc will put MP3 not music or anything else!

Question: How do I play mp3 files?
Tip: Search for something close to it that may contain 4 letters or more.

Yeah, but why should we have to find ways around it. "Play" would return loads of irrelevent stuff from the Games and Graphics Programming forum anyway.

You can go to the Advanced Search (http://www.vbforums.com/search.php?s=) and specify the forum you want to search, instead of getting results from every forum.

I always search b4 i ask a question!
I once wanted to search for everything on MP3 not too specific just to have a read see what people are tryin to do, ideas etc.
And anyway the major keyword is MP3 that would i persume return anything with MP3 in it!
Therefore Play MP3 would be so well defined i wouldnt be looking at games, shockwave or anything else irrelevant!

I too think that 3 letters would make a more user friendly minimum, as people often use the 3 letter file extensions, along with numerous other three-letter acronyms, throughout their posts.
