I tried searching for the following terms

General VB Faq

General VB FAQ Thread

"General VB FAQ Thread"

And all the times I get this stupid stupid idiotic message:

The search term you specified (vb) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.
For Peter the Pan's sake, can someone tell me how I can search for that unstuck thread of mine?

Sorry for the outburst. But the search function is worse than when it had been disabled temporarily during the upgrade of vBulletin a year back.
