Turn off Search character limit

11-05-2003, 03:13 PM

It really makes the search alot less effective when every word has to be 4 characters. I always try searching for things like "AF" or "RSE" or a specific job (war, blm, whm... all 3 characters) and it never goes through. You have to type out the full names of things.. but because no1 ever does that in their threads you come up with zero results

I plan to live forever.. so far so good.

Unfortunately, words like: the, yes, how, who, etc. also fall in to the three letter category, doubling the search index size, and it slows the database down.

We are working on it. Once we get the speed problem fixed, (which is less of a problem, but still a high issue) we will reindex the search engine to include three letter words.
