searching forums

hummm. it seems to put a 5 letter minimum on any word searched for in the forums.

that means people (like me :P ) cant search for stuff like "ECU" or even "fuel pump"

quite annoying

i agree

anything i try and search for is always under the limit

No prob's, I'll change the setting...

Onlt thing is, the smaller the word limit, the bigger the size of the search index... that's not such an issue anymore, as we have more space, so I'll change it...

The limit is now 3 characters or more...

Thanks for letting me know about it :)

why 3? :thumbsdow


I was trying to search words such as "Vs" because I want to read about compare between any cars and cars in this forum.

BUT I really have to thank to Rox0rz Carz0rz to post thread about searching like this

I really hate vBulletin system because its was so annoying BUT I have to life with it. :|

btw phpBB is very good forums system imho

a) phpBB isn't as secure
b) phpBB isn't as robust
As for searching 2 letter words, if I added 2 letter words to the search index, the size of the forums would increase by 50meg at least... sorry, I'm not going to do it. 3 is enough.
