Trouble searching

[ArtificialPear]

Hi all. This is my first post, so greetings everyone. I'm wanting to find posts relating to DXM, however when i searched for subjects like 'DXM' or 'LSD' I got no hits. Are the subjects too short on characters, or am I just doing something wrong?

You can't search for 3 letter words unfortunately.

^ That is correct about the built in bluelight search engine, but you can search for those things using the bluelight google search. I don't know how relevant the results would be though, but it's better than not having the option to search for those terms at all.

search for:

dxm*
lsd*

and you'll see many relevant hits. this only really works for search terms where the 3 letters wouldn't normally appear in a word. searching for a more common three-letter combination with an asterisk (e.g. ret*) is a different matter.
