Search function fails with numbers only

[BPE]

When I search for the term 223 or .223 in the Forums nothing is ever found as a result. I thought for a moment it was a minimum search length issue until I found David's reply (#27) on this post http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/44330-issues-with-the-new-software/ where the minimum length of characters was changed to 3 during setup.The term doesn't have to be 223, just any term that only consists of numeric characters. Leading with numeric characters works fine in the case of 458 bulk just to provide a different example. Encapsulating in quotes doesn't solve the issue.

I'm looking to find helpful 223 articles in the Ammunition and Reloading section before I post a possible redundant article. Searching for Remington 223 returned a few results but not all of what I'm looking for as not everyone references it by that specific a name.

Not an Earth shattering issue nor a complaint. I just have to think outside the box to broaden my search scope and include a word(s) or descriptor to find specifically what I'm looking for in regards to 223 ammo. Just thought I'd bring it to the attention of the staff. Thanks for all the work and dedication!

I have the same problem searching for "50 bmg"

 

The work around I came up with is to use the Google Advanced search feature.
