I have a problem with libXm.so.3 ; then I wrote this in the Quick Search form (I entered 'libXm.so.3'). And I got :

Well then I try a search with only 'libXm' (I added the quotes for this post). In the big list of results I got one post :
A poster wrote: |

Why didn't found the search engine 'libXm.so.3' ? |

I think it's because the search splits up things either side of the full stop into separate words, so in this case that meant you were effectively searching for libXm so 3. However, the search engine seems to give up entirely if you enter any words less than three characters, and return you no results. _________________ No-one's more important than the earthworm. |
