Can someone _please_ take off the "the following search terms were too common/made up of not enough letters" deal with the search feature?
It's basically useless - do you realize how many three letter acronyms (CoA for instance) and names there are for this game, not to mention _many_ other words I can't search, like "5/5" (as in the case of a rainbow facet).
There's also the need for an "exact" search option. If I search "lawbringer dimensional blade", I find results for lawbringer, dimensional, and blade. That wouldn't be too bad, except in the case of "blade", which could mean a million different things...but what if I searched for "fire sorceress guide"? I get information about fire (which would be the skill set, elemental damage, resistance, slang for using a skill...who knows?), sorceresses (maybe the most common class in this game) and guides (of which there are many, only a few of which deal with fire sorceresses.) In fact, the first fire sorceress guide (if you count hydra as a typical fire sorceress skill) is 17 threads down in the list. With the option that shows the most relevant threads first, there's not even a fire sorceress guide in the first, second, or third pages, unless you count meteorb as fire - and I wouldn't. I suppose you could try to refine your search by typing "PVP fire sorceress guide"...oh, no, you can't, because of the three letter thing.
