This problem may have been addressed beforehand but I couldn't find it in any of the forum topics.
To give you an example, I was searching for "UB" and "CR" (French to English) separately and together.

Why didn't my ProZ.com search bring them up? Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This has happened on many occasions.

I never bother with the ProZ search engine Feb 13, 2009

I find that it isn't worth the time it takes. To search the ProZ site, I use Google and include "proz" in my query. Google will find any occurrence of a term on the site, whether it has been entered into a glossary or not.

The engine only works on searches 3 characters up Feb 13, 2009

Two characters call up too many fuzzy matches -- at least that's what I've heard.
