To use Search facility

Post by Minerva »

Buck,

Is it possible to change the minimum number of characters we can use to search? Current number of 4 is a bit too high, I think.

For example, we cannot use either "man" or "guy" to search. I've just started playing Morrowind, and realised I cannot use "gem" to search information about "soul gem".

If you could reduce the minimum number to 3, it helps us a lot to search in the forum.

Thank you.

I've changed the minimum to three characters and am currently rebuilding the search index. Let me know if you still have any trouble.

Buck,

I've found that I can't find some posts through the search option, even though I know they're there. e.g. I couldn't find this thread with the search option, when looking for Elegans* or *couch*. Can you look into it? Thanks,

E.
