I know this is the default setting on a lot of forums, but could you allow for three-letter searches? I'm trying to find topics on ABS problems, and it kicks "ABS" out for being too short.

Thanks!

This was brought up a week and a few days ago, three letter terms.

I'll add ABS to the list but short of closing the forum and spending another 13 hours re-indexing there is no way (beyond a wildcard search like ABS*) to find results with ABS before today. That's just the way the search works, can't make it just look for that term and add it, have to drop the whole thing (couple 100mbs last I looked) and re-index every single word again.

Sorry, next time it gets re-indexed ABS will be added, but that's a lot of work just to add one more term.

Okay, sorry I didn't see that other thread. I'll use the wildcard search for now. Thanks!
