I was trying to search for suggestions that relate to a certain three letter word that only women care about, but the search engine wants four letters and considering I'm approaching that certain three letter word, I'm about ready to spout a few four letter words if I can't find help.

Just kidding. But it would be nice to find posts about "pms" or "tom"
Thanks

Girl, do I have a duckie for you. Maybe we'd better order a gross or so of these, so that we can keep all of us supplied, prn.

Honey you don't EVEN know. I'm so cranky I warned my husband. "You're gonna piss me off. I don't know how and I don't know when, but it's gonna happen."

QbnPatty,

I can't tell you why it won't search for anything less than four letters. I have tried using spaces, asterisks and so forth. The help feature is not very detailed. It is working though because it will search out a 4 charater keyword.

This is a question for the Admin. I will pass it along and try to get an answer for you. Sorry for the incovenience.

I'm asking the admin now...THANKS!

The 4 letter minimum feature when searching is a limitation of MySQL -- not of Invision Power Board. This is the same on vBulletin forums as well. MySQL also disables you from searching for the following words:

There is a way to incorporate a "Google Search" addon that will enable shorter searches (it will query google's index of the site), so I will work on adding that later today.

THANKS for the explanation, Admin!

Hey guys,

You'll notice the new "Search The Forums" box at the top of the forum. It was created by the Admin in direct response to THIS thread. So THANK YOU!!!

Thank you!!! This site ROCKS! Jimmy you're the best.

We try.
