Inspired by the developments in this thread (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=43975.0), I did a search for "XMP" only to discover that such thread does not appear in the search results despite containing "XMP" in many places.

Is there a problem with, or limitation of, the search function that would cause this behavior.

BTW, sorry if this isn't the appropriate place for this question, but I didn't see another logical choice.

Which search?  I've noticed before that the search bar (available on every page) doesn't always seem to work very well.  I don't know why, but the "real search" (accessed by clicking Search in the bar between "Help" and "Profile") works quite well.

Yes, usually it does, but not when XMP is searched. I tried it.

My guess is that they filter search terms 3 characters or less, I have seen this on many forums.  And on those same forums they sometimes tell you this is the case or just quietly give you no results.

I thought of that, but some results come up, just not all of them.
