Doug,
Search is working fine, the forum has always worked that way. Our CL search is limited to items of three characters or greater except for those that I specify to be added to the index. I've added several general Lexus model terms (LS ES RX GS GS4 GS3) for example. I've not seen a compelling reason to take the time to add 'BMW' or other small model names (ex. x5, M3) to slow down our Lexus forum (as I expect bimmerforums hasn't added Lexus terms).
This is done to improve our forum performance by dramatically reducing the size of our search index. Smaller words take longer to search for as they are more common.

And guess what won't be added if the rumor of a Lexus BS hatchback comes true.

Or does it remove the quotes? (which is kind of bad IMHO).
Yep, just checked, it breaks it out -very weird. A search for "car on fire" (with the quotes) returns posts that do not have that phrase. Bummer.

Wait, are you saying that it ignores quoted words? Most (Ok, all?) take anything in quotes and searches for that phrase - so in theory I'm searching for the six characters BMW X5.

It's attached! 
By 'site icon' I simply meant those little tags that appear on the address bar and firefox tabs. The site look itself is great, and I like the CL logo alot. But the orange old interim logo still appears on the address bar and tabs.
Just to clarify!

Can make one, just thought I'd save a few steps.
