Suggestion for Forum Change
 
I hope you will consider altering your search parameters. Every time I try to search for something this forum either complains that I don't have three or more search words (even if I do) or turns up nothing.

Had I been able to search something simple, like "rotating banner" I might have been able to conclude in an hour or two that no help was available instead of wasting six hours going through over 250 posts and trying a half dozen things that didn't work. Changing the search requirements would be very helpful.

Thank you for your consideration on the matter.

I agree with that!
But it doesn't ask for 3 or more words, it doesnt accept words with less than 3 characters.

The best way I have found to search here is to do the following:

In your browser's search window type your query (without worry about the three character limit) and then after one space at the end of your query, type site:vbulletin.org

So to search for "mod to embed youtube videos" would look like this:

mod to embed youtube videos site:vbulletin.org

That will search only this site and find all mention of all of those words. If you only want to look for "youtube+embed" you can do that with the '+" sign.

Good luck.
