When you use Ctrl-C to copy text from a post, the forum software adds a back reference to the copied text: "Reference [URL to post]"
This happens even if you copy a single word, for example to use it as a search term. So after pasting it you have to manually clean up the search box, which is obviously very annoying. I can see some sense in this for a large amount of text that is being copied and re-posted somewhere else. But it should not happen for a few words.
