"dx" is not a valid search keyword
I was looking for the post that had tons of screensavers for the Kindle DX. I could not find it, because every time I attempt to search for "kindle dx screensavers" it ignores the "dx" part, complaining that it is too short.
/Makes me angry. |

Really, there are more important things in the world to get angry about.
Use Google, and tell it to search Mobileread with a search command of the form: "kindle dx" screensaver site:www.mobileread.com |

I tried google first (before trying the forum's search). It did not help.

If Google doesn't find it, then it's probably not there. Google with the "site:" keyword is definitely the best way to search MR.
I'd suggest that you ask for assistance on the Kindle forum. |

Interesting. I've run into search issues a couple of times due to my user name and wondered why the 3 character limit. Not complaining though, I asked for it myself.

My sincere apologies for ranting in the first post.
Thanks, Alexander, your search was very helpful. It reminded me that I had actually seen the list of screensavers over at kindleboards. |
