First, sorry for posting in this subforum, but I didn't find a better suited topic. This question can be answered by any forum admin, not only EvilDragon.

Usually with a forum software, it's possible to set the search settings so that three-letter-words are indexed. Here it seems to start at four letters. Especially technical forums often use three letter acronyms, and I personally find it frustrating that I can't search for a term like GPS. Would it be possible to change that setting?
 
Or, you can use the * wildcard

So search for:

*GPS*

The boards search will see that as a 5 character and display results for GPS

@fzero: That gives a lot of gpsp, but as a crutch, it works.

@Neelix: This is an option, yes, and the results a bit better.

Thanks to you both. I still think changing the indexing setting would be a gain in usability...
 
Not search related, but forum related:  Is there a way to resize images?  None of the usual stuff I tried worked.
