Weird Searching

You know how so many forums discount short words when searching? I remember reading an article (there was some term for filtering short words) about how on Google, you couldn't search "To be or not to be." All the words are too short.

I was looking for the OTF DII.net "Who are you?" thread that was around a long, long time ago. But of course. "Who are you?" uses short words.

Anyone have any ideas how I could search for it? Did anyone perhaps bookmark it?

Re: Weird Searching

It only shows the most recent 300 posts by any user. I tried it on myself, and got back 2-3 years.

Wow, I'd assumed they'd fallen off the edge of the forums by now.

Can't remember the "To be or not to be" thread, do you remember who started it?
