Actually steve, they
should use the forum search
The hack database:
a.) does not have every vB hack in it (I know it does with newer ones

)
b.) does not have hack requests modifications in it
c.) does not have general hacking discussion modifications in it
Anyway - @Xenon & Erwin - I am sure that you could make the search allow 2 letter words like IP and PM right?
And if not, you could edit the search template to show *PM* or *IP* as examples as suggested
