I do have one suggestion for BWE admins - Please, please, please decrease the amount of characters required in a "Search". To limit the number of characters to greater than 3 is inhibiting the search capabilities of the users. Examples of how this is affecting us:

~ "WSB Recipe" - ends up searching only for "Recipe" and leaves out the WSB portion
~ "FF" - will not search due to too few characters, but yet many thread use "FF" in the title.
~ "Fishfinder GPS" - will only search for "Fishfinder" and leave out the GPS portion due to too few characters in "GPS"

The forum search function is pretty bad. For some reason the search results are sorted by date rather than relevance. I recommend just using google to search the forum. You can do this by adding site:www.bigwatersedge.com after your search terms in google. For example:

WSB Recipe site:www.bigwatersedge.com
