But unfortunately, people don't really pay attention to the toolbar and the banner of the forums, and insist that they get their answers ASAP. There are always people who will do that, and we can't stop that, but maybe this crude pic can help some people out. (Nothing against you, just pointing this out.)

Forum search isn't always useful though.

E.g. A search for arrow revolver:
Mabinogi Guru Forums - Search Results

Google tends to give slightly better results:
site:http://www.mabiguru.com/forums/ arrow revolver - Google Search

Not to mention you can't go below 4 letters at any time...

stinks because all the Arrow Revolver hits are probably under AR xD

Itchy can put in exceptions to the under 4 letter restriction in the options. Would make things easier to search i guess. If we came up with a list of 2 to 3 letter abbreviations and then asked him if he could put them in, might work out O:

Weird, do the search caches reset? Anyways, it's just a search for arrow revolver, so yeah.

Edit: Mm, the second search doesn't work anymore either.

You can search for things 3 letters and under. Just use the Wildcard option.

Ex: Bug*

Adding the star initiates the wilcard function, but because 3 letters are too diverse, it includes any other words that would contain thoese letters in that order.
