QUOTE (GFerguson @ Aug 14 2008, 10:38 PM) I`ve tried searching for "incorporations for real estate" but have only received error messages. How can I access previous posts on this topic?

If you put in search terms smaller than 4 characters, it was set to display an error message (in this case, the word "for" tripped it up). I was testing this because no error message was displayed for searches like "GST" which are not recognized by the search system by themselves.
I just switched it back to "0 characters", (Once again, testing it out) which should be easier if you`re just typing in a phrase to search ("how to make money"), but it can be confusing if you want to find info about short acronyms ("PST"). Keep in mind that searching "make money" will probably get you just as relevant results as "how to make money" will.
After playing around with the search function and it seems that it will recognize these small words as long as you have other words in the search. "GST" gets you nothing but "GST taxes" will find you posts with both GST and taxes in them.
Oddly enough, I tried several searches including GST and another word and this thread was the only one I could pull up using the search function, so either I don`t know what context people would use "GST" in or it just isn`t posted very often
