All I wanted was some information about Google Maps, or similar. [Google maps for me](http://tinyurl.com/4wf9xt) I know they have been posted about in this form so clever me decided to do a search for them. Ha!!! You think that’d be easy!!!

In just the same way as we’re restricted to 4 smilie’s and posts like “LOL” are not allowed because they are to few characters, so the word ‘map’ is decreed too short to be included in the search phrase. Oh, goodey … searching for ‘Google Maps’ brings back every post containing ‘Google’ … fabulous … great help that is.

So just how are we supposed to search for posts about maps? Easy … use Google. It works and I sort of found what I wanted but what a stupid restriction we have on our own search facility.

At last go to [http://tinyurl.com/4wf9xt](http://tinyurl.com/4wf9xt) and see ending of the story
