Board search not working for me

[mack]

Lately everytime I try a search this message comes back:

The search term you specified (you) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.

and it's not under four fucking words that's being typed...any idea what's up or is anyone else having problems with search here?

The limit is the number of letters not words, you can search for a string of a hundred words but if one of those is under 4 characters in length it won't work.

sorry mack there is a minimum post limit of 4 letters which obviously is also reflected in the search function. I guess it helps minimise our CPU usage if you are running queries in the database searching for one or two letter words you are putting a heavy load on the server

Thanks jonny I think I understood that. :nerd: :cheers:
