    How about just adding the paragraph:
    "Search terms must be a minimum of 4 characters in length. Wildcards (e.g. * ) will be disregarded. Therefore, to search for terms such as "ABS", google search must be used instead (see below). "

    Also - I have noticed some sites give you the option of using the built in search or google when you click on the search button. Can that be implemented easily?

    Well something is wrong then. Every time I try a word < 4 characters I get:

    Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
    See for yourself.

    I have tried:
    BMW
    ABS
    ARB (yet ARBS or arbs gives 86 responses. arb* gives the message quoted above)

    Now I get responses - but not before.

    Thanks - I am not as daft as I thought (don't respond to that)

    Cheers
