Be nice if one could use google or a more sophisticated search of the second life forum. For instance it won't let me search for "VPN" saying that is too short of a word.

The Forum Search limitations are indeed exceedingly terrible.

Not being able to search for cos, sin, tan, XOR, AND, LOD, or any of the other common three letter words using in scripting is like some kind of evil joke, and drives one to search for four letter words to express one's feeling about the subject.

Having run a vBulletin board in the past, the operators can put certain 3-letter words on an exception list so that they are searchable. It comes up on this forum every few months, but they never, ever do anything about it.
