    Why is there a minimum of 3 words for the search to work? How can I find threads for "mp3" or "Wp plugin"?

    You can make one one searches. Try searching for MP3. You won't find the best possible match without other descriptors but one word searches are possible so long as word has at least three letters. Sometimes you have to be inventive in your searches. You can also use Google and Google phrase with DigitalPoint tacked onto your search.

    In addition to the two previous responses there's a Google coop search for DP in my signature. Does the same thing as the "site:" search just saves typing or a few clicks.
