i had this problem too. Probably it's to justify saving bandwidth. but since most of the cameras here are commonly referenced by 3 digits, etc D30 EOS 602 F80 707 D7i .. it makes searching for subjects extremely difficult. Adding additional characters to the 3 digits will filter out revelant posts which sadly only contain te 3 digits and will not come out in a search.

Try using this method to search, for D60, use D60*. Add a *
