You can add a * to the end of a 3-letter word to search it. For example, hey*

I think you are supposed to ask questions in this thread: https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?251028-Still-Need-Help-Post-Your-Questions-Here! Tip on 3-letter search - it's impossible to do in PERB search, period. There used to be a workaround using underscore ('_') years ago, stopped working after one of software updates. Maybe it's a software configuration option, maybe it's just not supported anymore due to security tightening. You can search on Google (or Bing) for 3-letter words, the search string would be "hey site:.perb.cc". This however only searches anonymously-accessible forums like The Lounge and not those subforums that require login like Vancouver Reviews.

Wasn't sure why XXX* was an option.
