searching VF models in threads

[SuperSenpai]

I was trying to do a search in the forums for topics pertaining to a particular model of valk - VF-1S, YF-19, etc. For some reason, the search function keeps returning no results, even though I know that the search string appears in that forum. For example, if I search the Toy forum for "VF-0D", it returns nothing even though there is a currently active VF-0D thread. Is there a trick to getting this work? I tried searching with quotes, with and without the dash, and nothing works.

Try eliminating the "dash" from the Search. For some reason the search engine sees that as a separator much like a comma or a space, which then only sees 2 letters to search. There's a 3 letter minimum for the search engine, reducing it further would make it useless... it would only look for "VF" or random numbers such as "19" or maybe the "19" in a year. I just checked and there's no easy way to make the engine recognize the dash/hyphen, I even tried the HTML code "-" s in VF-0D.
