How to search for short words in ECF

**Melinda09** · 06-20-2009, 03:23 PM

What's an "MSN handle", or an "invalid MSN handle"? I ran across this while trying to update my Location (add some info. to it) under User CP, and can't find the term under any Search or FAQs ... I give up.

Thanks!

This is a great thread! Thanks for putting it together; some of the lingo on here was a little obscure.

As this thread has demonstrated, many (if not most) terms that dominate the world of electronic cigarettes are only two or three characters in length, e.g., 15 ml, 36 mg, ECF, 510, 801, 901, SD, GG, PG, VG, PCC, DIY, and on and on.

However, the forum search function automatically rejects search terms less than four characters. [It's a limitation built into the system used by most forums (not just ECF).] So what to do?

This had me stumped and frustrated for about three weeks.

And then, I finally noticed...

At the very bottom left of most pages (not just the Advanced Search page) is a little box with "Google Custom Search" printed in pale letters. It operates just like any Google search, e.g., you can use "", +, and words of any length. But the default selection of the scope of the search is e-cigarette-forum.com.

Now I can search for how to DIY RY4 with a combination of PG and VG at 12 mg nic level (for use in my 801 with PT from PS).

[I don't think this is documented in any forum FAQ or "Read This First."]
