Search function question...

[Eshaw99]

What is the minimum character limit for individual words when trying to use the search function? For example, I just ordered a box of a CAO blend I'd never had before (CAO Nicaragua, it was on clearance) and before I bought it I was trying to search here to see if anyone had done a previous review on them. But when I searched for "CAO Nicaragua" it said that "CAO" was too short and had been omitted from the search results, meaning that it only returned results for "Nicaragua" which obviously was too vague to be helpful. I tried putting quotation marks around CAO but it still wouldn't search for it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

EDIT: Through trial-and-error it appears that the minimum is 4 characters for a word to be included in a search. I wonder if there's a way to force a search for a word/acronym less than 4 characters?

4 characters minimum.

You can get around the limit, in a way, by using google and limiting it to cigarpass, like so:



I've found this very helpful for searching forums, which often have a crummy search function. (The search here is actually pretty good, other than the character limit that you ran into.)
