simple search engine
Hi,
Me again
Recently had a few members asking if its possible to modify the simple search engine to allow a less than 5 string entry.
A post can be submitted with less than a 5 character input but at present you cant search for one.

Re: simple search engine
That sounds like a good request. I had actually tried to search for a word with 4 letters the other day because I had forgotten about the 5-character minimum. I forget now what word I was looking for, but I ended up using Google with intitle:word and inurl:bakheva.
One of us will move this topic to Feature Requests once we know you've seen this reply.

Re:
It is a great request! That has frustrated me more than once. When I speak of my dog Lily in a title, I have to be sure to put LilyRose in the title or I will never be able to find the post again.

Re: simple search engine
You can put " " (minus the quotes) either before or after a 4 letter word and simple search will give you a proper result. It isn't perfect but it is way better than nothing and you don't have to depend on a 3rd party search engine.

Re: simple search engine
I tried this over on Susa's board with the search term lily and it gave 20 results. Notice that there is no space between the and the word I was looking for (in this case the search was for lily).
