534244 2007-03-19 04:05:00 I was just looking for the thread where someone wanted to know the value of their AMD system.

So I type amd into the search, and no results returned.

But type in intel, and you get tons of results.

You're right I get no results either :horrified

Metla your search has amd* which is probably why it finds results.
Just searching for amd gets nothing.

I know this because I remember seeing Jen figure it out and tell someone:D:D:D.

And Jen probably knows this because she probably remembers seeing someone else figure it out and tell someone. :p


It's actually a common "feature" of forums and a right pain in the neck sometimes. :rolleyes:

Another tidbit I worked out - how to get around the minimum four character search ...

Just put in amd* (the * is a wild card and will find all "amd" posts). ;) [edit: ah, I see Metla has already mentioned that :p]
