ski9826 50 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Hello, I would love it if we use 3-letter words in the search box. I'm not sure if this puts a larger load on the processing requirements of searches, but it would be really nice. For an example, I was looking for some posts regarding SQL and had some difficulties finding what I was looking for. I am guessing there is a good reason for requiring 4 digits or more in your search query, but if at all possible it would be nice to reduce it to a minimum of 3. Thanks, ski9826 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JubaL 9 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 That would work for me to. I was seaching for DFX the other day ...but... the search engine doesn't like such short strings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koolrebel 109 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 Most forum search engines restrict the character limit of 4 I find that it pays to use the advanced search function. Whilst not that great it does make searching easier. If I were to search for Jerry Lee Lewis I'm in trouble straight away because of the word Lee and its character total of 3. However If I was to place the same search in quotation marks thus "Jerry Lee Lewis" I am telling the search engine to take note of all words in the search as one sentence NOT as 3 separate words. The key to a good search is the information posted. Everyone should make the title of their threads as informative as possible without abbreviartion. Applying tags can be useful too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
