How to search?

I have been very irregular looking at the forums. Partly because I have problems with searching.
Today I am looking at the posts in "Open discussions about features to implement in FAT32/16 file system"

Many of the posts refer to CP/M or CPM. To find other threads I entered CP/M and CPM in the search box and in advanced search.
I get message "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." while I am looking at posts in another tab that have as text:
"Kye, The way I am using the CPM files" and "I think for CP/M you would only really ever need two files open"
On page three CP/M is used 9 times and CPM 7 times.

What is wrong in my assumption that I should at least find references to the thread I am looking at?
Jon

    Many of us have long given up on the forum search feature.

    I keep a link to Rich's Google search in post #1 of my index (see signature). I think it works well.

    The search tool requires more than three characters. Try CPM* and you will get some hits.

    Thanks Duane and Publison.
    Both suggestions gave me results I can work with.
