What about the search option with the minimum of characters you can input? I tried to search "oil" and it wouldn't let me. You used to be able to search using 3 characters, but now you can't? It had no results...which is odd.

You could do a search on Google with no minimum character limit.

For example, if you wanted to do your search, go to Google.com and in the search box, enter

Code:

site:http://www.8thcivic.com oil

You can also search in subforums. For example, go to Google.com and in the search box, enter

Code:

site:http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/do-yourself-articles/ oil

I think it's a vBulletin search engine feature that's out of our control.

I just noticed that the URL for our DIY section says "do-yourself-articles"

the search should be updated by this evening... search was changed to a new style and it has to go through the database to generate 3 letter search items. The site will be down for approx 20 min or so late this evening.
