I'm probably doing something stupid, but I can't search this forum with 3.6 as the search term or keyword. I swear this worked before??? Do I need to do something special to be able to search using a numeric value. I know there's some good content on this forum for 3.6 conversions, I just can't get thar from here!
Help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Do I need to do something special to be able to search using a numeric value. use a longer number ? forum search software prevents you from using any keyword less than 4 characters; you are not the first person to run afoul of this annoying restriction (which i'm sure is done to limit the number of hit pages to a more manageable subset...). you can make the string appear longer, maybe, or try subterfuges like Boolean operations (i haven't tried that, so don't hold me to the details...). look for "3.6 liter" or "3.6 conversion" or "3.6" AND "conversion"... |
