Not being able to search for led related post with the forum's search engine drove me to this post :

I don't know if you're using the same search engine, but for their case they allow search for some chosen less-than-4-letters-long words.

If it is the case I think there would be a small list of 3 letters words that would really improve the forum useability.
Words like:

led
mod
sbc
bbc
irs

Let us know TT :wink:
 
Just stumbled upon a problem, full text search is limited to a minimum of 4 chars. It can be set to3 but that's on server level so our hostin co will have to do that and reboot the server. Something they will never do. We're SOL there. I did add some 3 char. words to a list that should include them in the search indexer. if it won't work, use an asterix (*) as a wildcard to improve search results (like led*)
