Search Issue

RE: Search Issue
(June 30, 2015 at 2:07 pm)Minimalist Wrote: I just tried to run a search for 'F-35' and was told that I needed to have at least four characters.  By my count...and I confess to sucking at math...F-35 IS 4 characters.

What's with that?

That is because in most search engines the dash is a symbol used for excluding characters, words or whole phrases. It seems that AF search engine thinks you've entered just F with request to exclude 35 from the results. You can try entering "F 35".
