I just noticed that you can't use "XP" in search on the forum.

ya its not a "problem" per say.
If you search for anything that is just two letters it throws a fit

I was pointed to this a bit ago in a thread I made about the same problem

I knew about the "two" letter thing and never thought about it until I was trying to narrow my search while looking for a particular thread.

Yep that is very irritating.. Hey we should go raise cain at the Vbulletin site! J/K

you didn't hear it from me!

maybe we should just start listing the os as WinXP for generic uses

or XPpro XPhome for more specific uses so it can be searched for....

You can add a wildcard asterisk to search for a two letter word.

*XP
