D35
D30
AX5
TPS
MAP
IAC
D60
CPS
33"
35"
4.0
2.5
4.2
242
258
4.6
4.7
LCA
UCA
MJ (try finding something Comanche specific where MJ wasn't used!)
XJ
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Different terms for 4.0? Like what? None exists... "inline six"? never mind that "six" will be omitted...

These 3 letter acronyms completely dominate NAXJA and every other Jeep forum. I'm betting the number of relivant threads with "CPS" in the title instead of "Crankshaft Position Sensor" or "4.0" vs. "Powertech Inline six" out number threads with searchable key words by oh just guessing.... 5000 to 1?

The 4 letter minimum makes no sense... Especially when there was a time when 3 letters worked and the minimum was 2 letters...

Try searching for TPS when you are fighting against time to get your XJ's new TPS calibrated so you can get to work. NAXJA is a powerful resource and huge database of Jeeping know how... But the most common expressions which are used in probably 99.9% of all discussions here are not useable in a search.

I know there are ways around this mostly having to do with sifting through lots of results using extremely generic search terms. But how much extra resources are really going to be used if 3 letter words are allowed?
 
Not sure if it works here, but on many forums you can put "wildcards" in to make the character count without changing the search results.

Ex. *AW4*, *TPS*, etc
