Can the mods please enable 3 character search strings. You wont believe the number of 3 char acroymns our cars use and its a real pain not to be able to search for them.

e.g
BMW
FTM
ABS
CIC
CCC
ETK
WDS
FLA
BFD

I think you get the message.

I am pretty sure Lomag tried this already and in this software it can't be done.

But you can ad * to make the search word long enough, like: ETK*


Should work, Bruce...

Yeah...
Our search module reported your search and called it offensive...


j/k


Seriously, e60* should work though.


There are some things that cause minor headaches in this software we use.
But, we are probably very soon changing over to a total different software which makes the forum much better and gives us more features.
The search will then also be much more functional...
