Hi all -

I know that some of you have been frustrated by not being able to search for words of 3 characters (used to be a minimum of 4). While I was making other upgrades today, I was able to change that as well. Which should make it that much easier to search for things like GPS, key, mpg, and even etc. :p Sorry for the downtime on the site this afternoon, but I was feeling ambitious and it was a good time to change a whole bunch more behind the scenes....

Now I can use 250 for both EX250 and 250R (not that I usually have to specify... considering the forum). :thumbup:

Thanks!

"oil" was a PITA to search the forum for threads on oil. haha

And now we can see that there are 93 threads on the site that deal with "CDI"... :thumbup:

Hmm - I think this is something that I hadn't carried over to the new server. I need to find the setting I tweaked to allow for 3-letter searching; I sure wish I had posted a link to it within this thread...

No wonder I had a hard time pulling up MSF threads. Cool.

The google site search is an option for those pesky searches. Find it under advanced search in the search sub-menu.

^ Completely forgot about that, thanks for the reminder.

I think this link (http://www.electrictoolbox.com/mysql-full-text-index-word-length/) covers what I need to do. Will try and get to it tonight after I get home.

That did the trick. If I forget again, it was setting the ft_min_word_len value to 3, restarting mysql, then repair/optimize the whole db for it to rebuild the indexes.
