Greetings Admin(s) et al,

Is the search function broken -- or am I doing something wrong?

I tried searching on the single term PLA (for all forums and all times), but I get zero results.
However, this string is in both message subjects and messages in the last month.
Is a three letter string too short for our search function?

(If so, ABS is in a similar boat.)

I had the same problem searching for "5D" I managed to do a Google site search for it. [www.google.com]

Nice if this could be fixed. It is almost impossible to search for recommendations for printing with a number of different plastics.

Logged as a bug.

Nophead's PMMA (acrylic) results only exist as a teaser link on the main blog
[blog.reprap.org]

And we need to bring it into our main documentation here.
[objects.reprap.org]

Generally, the forum will be a snapshot of plastic usage, and the wiki and postmediawiki will be more structured. Right now most research never gets into documentation. I blame the documentation system, which has a number of faults.
