I am trying to search for CAE on pprune, but it wants min 4 characters, how do you get round it

Use Google with pprune as a search item as well. It won't be comprehensive but may help.

Cheers

There was a Sticky on this until recently: you can use a "site:" term on Google, like site:pprune.org CAE (http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Apprune.org+CAE)

Try putting " " around the word.

Nope - bnt's way is the only one.

CAE site:www.pprune.org

That's how I do it, you'll be surprised how many people don't know how to use a search engine properly ;) No big deal - you learn something new everyday.

Good luck.

Now moved to the FAQ section to make way for the Mac Corner sticky...
