Will the search function ever be fixed for usernames under 3 characters?

[50]

Hello, I was told a few months ago that people such as me would be able to search all of my posts as there was going to be a fix for the search feature (people with under 3 character usernames cannot search their prior posts). I have been waiting patieintly and really would like to see the feature added. Also, if I were to temporarily change my username, would I be able to search my old posts (as in would my old posts also change in username)? If so I would like a temporary name change. Thank you

"There is a character limit on the search right now it wont search for anything less than or equal to 2. It will be looked at later. "

So sorry but it looks like "later" hasn't yet arrived. Hope it gets here shortly for your sake. That has got to be really annoying. Did you try Oldsmoboat's suggestion to bookmark your threads? If you really want to change your username, a PM to Anandtech Moderator is usually the quickest way. They might not see this thread at all.

Changing your username will modify what comes up as the author of all your old posts.

The only problem could be that someone else might register the name 50 once this change has taken place...!

Could he ask the mods to ban the original name then?
