How do i? Search for phrase of short words

[mungo]

Hi,

Is there any trick to getting past the "Search term is too short" error? I'm trying to search for "roma 90" or "cube 40" to see some examples of tanks. I get all search results for "roma" or "cube", but the "90" or "40" are ignored.

Although I understand that the two digit number is too short, is there any way to convince the search to treat the whole phrase as a longer search term? I've tried putting it in "quotations" and roma+90 to no avail.

Thanks!

You often find that a search on Google is better, so just use your search terms and add ukaps on the end, so try:

roma 90 ukaps

cube 40 ukaps

You should get a number of threads at the top of your search and also a link which says "more results from www.ukaps.org". If you click on that you will get all the matches from the site.

Many thanks Wisey, that works a treat. Don't know why I didn't think of it before.

Hi guys, the search has a limit on search terms to reduce the size of the database it needs to cache. Cheers

Yeah LondonDragon, I thought that would be the reason. Found a work-around now thanks to Wisey, so I'm more than happy. Let Google do the grunt work, keep your servers nippy, and save space for pictures of greenery..
