I understand that if you only enter one keyword for search, you might want to limit it to at least 3 characters, but if I enter multiple keywords, then why can't one of them be 2 characters. Especially if one of those characters is a number.
I was interested in knowing if anyone had switched from an E60 to an X5 and how that worked out for them. So I entered into the search:
E60 switched X5
Boom! Search won't allow that because one of the terms is less than 3 characters. So I guess X5 or M5 or anything like that isn't possible in the search. So basically I've got no way of searching for X5 at all. New thread time (despite it potentially being a repost of a question answered in the past many times).
:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Worth adding a bit of text to that effect on the error page.

I was thinking you could have added either E53 or E70 to the search terms!

After owning no less than 3 X5's now, it's just second nature for me!
