I'n not a newb and I'm sure there is a workaround here which I'm not aware of...and I did use the search feature to help answer this question. To no avail..

So please help me out here.

When doing a search for something like "IWC Mark XI" or just IWC, the response is:


"Search Results for Query: IWC

1. The search could not be completed because the search keywords were too short, too long, or too common."

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Todd

There was a recent thread with the same question;

An alternative would be to do a Google “site” search as shown in the screenshot below

Google works great, I almost always use that. You can also use quotes, wildcards, exclude words with a hyphen ... all the useful functions.
