I agree.

This has always bugged my on RX7 forums as well, because you can't search for model codes like S4, S5 FB, FC, FC...

At the present time, you need at least 3 letters/numbers in your search. This is due to the size of the database. Just by adding 1 letter or number to the search increases the indexing of the database and makes the site slow down to a crawl when all you searchers are hitting the database.
