TLAs
 

I'm slightly hesitant to raise this, given that I recognise the importance of putting limits on the ammount of bandwidth guzzled by folks using the search facility, but is there any possibility that it could be modified to allow searchs on words with three characters?

The reason for this is that the industry is full of three letter acronyms (TLAs), so not being able to search on them is actualy quite limiting.

Any chance the powers that be might consider this please?

Has been discussed before, but no chance until the servers are upgraded.

Please do not hold your breath, PPRuNe cannot take responsibility for your suffocation!

You can work around this: since the site is indexed by Google, so you can use a search term like site:www.prune.org JAA ATPL

Ah, nice one bnt. Obvious really with hindsight ;)

bnt,

Thanks - one of the most useful tidbits of information I have picked up in a long while! :D:ok:

To clarify, place the search term(s) FIRST in the list, then the site in the form site:www.pprune.org

You can also use the Advanced Search, and explicitly place www.pprune.org as the ONLY site to search.
