we do search. whether or not it's a lousy search engine or we suck as searchers, sometimes we'd like to see a simple, nice answer instead of the all famous ending "please search next time"....

search on this -- "stop the keyboard from turning on htc touch pro"

and I get -
The search term you specified (on) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.

tag!!!!!

Is it me, or is the engine? I think there are more than three words in my search. Thanks for the help. Im sure I can find another sight that wants new users to DONATE!

It's a question of how long are your words. You can also use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard character.

So you can search on "touch pro* keyboard light".

relax, take a deep breath and count to 10. i find that works (sometimes). i think i'm one of the most hotheaded people on this site. an unfortunate truth, i'm afraid to say. but my friend, you have it all wrong. the people on this site are not only the best of the best but for the most part they are very friendly. they want the newbees to learn the seach system (which i still haven't) and play around with it for awhile and then perhaps ask questions. now there are certain people here that no matter what, will always think you're stupid (yea yea, i'm got to catch hell for saying it but you all know it's true) but just ignore them and move ahead. i could give you the names of some of the very best here but there are just too many to name off. you're learn who to pay attention to and who to ignore. the thing is, just relax and give it chance here. i think you'll come to think of these people as family.

Well, hope floats, but here is where it stands, blasted form a stranger saying use the search tool, which i did, but he didnt say, did you try the search tool? no just a "do it statement", two, the search tool has a learning curve, so how do you ease into this family if every thing you do is WRONG? all of this could have been resolved by saying, hey man it cannot be done!
ALL of us are tyring to enjoy pur devices and learn. If this site doesnt want new members then they should say so, trust me, google is allot more powerful than this site will every be, and I have found more answers, without the drama on other sites..

thanks for your input Ill continue to read and watch but Ill ask my "worthless questions elsewhere"

thanks for the kind words

Bri~~

oh, and about your thoughts on google being more helpful than this site. here's the catch to that statement. 99% of what you'll find in google was discovered by somebody either here, or at xda, and that's really it. so to make a statement that google is more powerful, all you'll be doing is stressing your less than average search engine abilities to find the useful information that the people from this site have come up with. so good luck with google... if you can't use the search engine here, i can't imagine you using a search engine anywhere.

Relax dude, this really is an excellent site.

By the way, I get a little sick of people that harp on the search over & over myself. I think the search function on this site blows......
