===Disadvantages of the wiki search box===
===Disadvantages of the wiki search box===
Words of 3 or fewer characters in length are ignored and cannot be found, for example searching for '''MHC''' fails to find any page text matches, while doing the same search in the Google search box finds many. Words of 4 or more characters are found, e.g. '''hook'''.

Common failings of the wiki search box are trouble handling plural queries (searching for "dogs" might not return matches for "dog") as well as trouble with captialization queries (searching for "Dog" might not return matches for "dog").
