I ran into a portage problem and wanted to check the forums for a solution. However I can't find a way to search for: virtual/jdk-1.4. I try a bunch of variations with quotes, but always get no results. Is this a limitation of the search engine, or is there some trick I'm missing?

The forum will index only words of 3 or more letters, you cannot search version numbers (as far as I know).
Try searching "virtual AND jre" (without quotes).

A search for "search" in Gentoo Forums Feedback will turn up other threads with similar questions.
