Topic: Search Problem - won't find three-character word

hi folks,

Obviously the search finds words only 4 characters or longer. How can make it finding shorter terms?

thanks for help

Re: Search Problem - won't find three-character word

it's not included in the searchindex, so with the normal search you cannot find such short words.
And in versions before 1.2 you cannot use AND with short searchwords either.

To be able to search those short words, one would need to modify the whole search-indexing-code.

surely 3 characters long and less would make it a huge index?

Re: Search Problem - won't find three-character word

ok. see the point. anyone has an idea if there is an easy way to change the search index code? Is this something done in mysql or in the php code? if the latter, where'd I find it?

thanks for the feedback

its a bad idea why do you want to do it?

Re: Search Problem - won't find three-character word

just clients demands. (some time they don't listen to things like performance and server space)  But I have found it. There is a file called search_idx.php in the includes folder where one can set it.
