Minimum Length For A Search Term

I have ran into a problem trying to search for something that included a single digit number. Specifically 9 bolt, because the search will not allow words as short as 9 to be searched. I dont think that this will cause a ton of problems but is sure frustrating when you are trying to find something like 9 bolt.

Thanks

Ben

I know it sucks. But it kinda prevents people from trying to kill the server by trying to search for "a" knowing that it'll find thousands of matches. I think this server can handle that though, so I'll go ahead and change the search limit to at least 1 character instead of 3 and see what happens! Don't be surprised if I change it back though

Looks like it won't start working until I re-index the server... I'll do that now and see what happens, I have a feeling it's going to be bad news.

nevermind, that's a bad idea, sorry!

Perhaps searching for 9-bolt will yield enough relevant posts for you.

Yes, I have found what I needed that way. It just kind of got on my nerves when it told me I was not allowed to search for that small of a word. Is it possible for you to rule out certain words as search tearms such as a? Thanks for checking into it, but if it will cause problems I guess I understand.
