No searching 3 letter words?

[Cat Rage Room]

We used to be able to do this, didn't we?

 

[Fangu]

Hey Mog

 

[Octo]

I don't think I've ever been able to search for 3 letter words, and its bloody irritating.

 

[Tennyo]

The search function on this forum has always been pretty lacking.

 

[Ryushikaze]

AFAIK, no, we have not. I am not sure why.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Are you leaving the "s" off "tit," Mog? Render it plural and your problem is solved.

 

[Octo]

Yes but thats next to useless for "poo" "wee" and "bum/ass"

Poop and butt works though Or bums and asses.

Finding the thread, "The BFG" was a pain in the ass yesterday because of this, but yeah. It's always been that way insofar as I can remember. It's either that, or it was fewer letters with a cooldown active at one point, maybe?

Or arse, which I far prefer over ass, anyway.

I also hate that I can't just submit a post that only contains two characters. What if all I want to say to someone is ?

Can we change that?

That would be up to our great old supreme overlord, I think.

I'm going to require a sacrifice of a handful (oh, over 9000 or so) virgins, .

Anyway yeah, I thought I had set it lower, too. The default is probably 3 or even higher though, because of how the search indexing works (it basically breaks every poast up in groups of X (3 letters or more); the larger the groups, the easier it is to index. I'll have to look into it again, I forgot how the limit is set. May be something in the database itself. Remind me again tomorrow. Send noodz.

 

[Channy]

You'll need to look to a different forum if you want virgins.

Also, when did Mog show up? Hey

[Channy]

I find that hard to believe.















































I mean this in the nicest, sexiest way possible because if Mr. Howl didn't already violate every part of you, I'm sure TLS has. <3

All right, it was a setting in mysql that probably got lost during one of our moves. I've turned it on and the thing is rebuilding the search index while I'm typing this. Searching for BFG gives results again,
