Search Problem

Have entered a string of about 10 words into the search box and receive this reply

The search term you specified (of) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.

What am I doing wrong here?

They were

Rapid reading of adc input for storage and math. manipulation

Not being able to search, have submitted another post entitled ADC Help

When searching leave out small words such as OF and AND as they will not help your search, as the error message reported.

You cal also add * to end of multiple words
math* = maths, mathematics, etc.

e.g.

Rapid reading adc* input storage math* manipulation

You can also add * to end of multiple words
That's also a reasonable solution to searching on I2C*, PWM*, LCD* which otherwise cannot be searched on. It will give too much sometimes ( I2C* finds I2CREAD, I2CWRITE etc ), but something is better than nothing, and I don't know many words which start "LCD" or "PWM" except "LCD" and "PWM" etc :)
