Help with search function

[riverrat]

I was just trying to search for threads about the ECM label, specifically the set of reissues that came out in 2000. (Trying to find out if they are remastered or just reissued.)

I'm also interested in learning more about this vast catalog.

I tried:

ECM

ECM reissues

But the search engine won't take terms less than 4 characters, effectively making any search for ECM impossible. Perhaps there is a good reason for this, but I find it VERY ANNOYING!

Is there any work around for this?

this seems to be my post forever try searching on google and behind what you are searching for type site:organissimo.org like search for

"ecm reissues" site:organissimo.org

on google

it's not perfect, many hits are from some lofi version of the board (which however has the same posts in it ) and more recent things are mostly overlooked but it's something

Good suggestion Niko, thank you!

Strange feature/restriction that 3 character limitation, makes it impossible to search for artists like Art Pepper, Art Farmer, Sun Ra a.o. Can't find the same limitation at forums.allaboutjazz.com or jazzcornertalk.com.

these forums have other limitations, indeed

The search engine in this software is not functioning correctly. I have had several discussions with the software company about it, all of which end with "It should work". Obviously it doesn't. Until there is a solution, Google is your best friend.

Thanks for the explanation Jim! My gripe in no way reflects frustration with the board MODERATORS. I greatly appreciate you hosting this board and continue to learn a great deal here.

Niko's suggestion worked great for me.
