enable 3 character search length please
not sure if this has come up before but it would be great to enable 3 character length searches... akfiles does this not sure of the forum template/ architecture is different or not... but at the moment cant search for "9mm" or "akv" or "357" - which would be very helpful

Re: enable 3 character search length please
It was explained in computereze why it wouldn't be prudent at this juncture, when I asked in a thread a while back.
Conjunctions crash the search system or something.

Re: enable 3 character search length please
makes no sense... akfiles forum uses 3 letter w no problem, not asking for conjunctions just 3 characters - if excluding punctuation marks helps this then exclude them... the entire gun world is ruled by 3 characters i.e. calibers and models

Re: enable 3 character search length please
The problem with this, as I understand it from other forums I'm on, is it takes a LOT more resources to run a search when it is just 3 characters.

Re: enable 3 character search length please
Why would you ever want all results with, for example, 9mm? It would be too much to be useful. Need more context to get back reasonable results.

Re: enable 3 character search length please
no sorry you are wrong, the search spits back tons of hits if just 9mm" but you combine like "9mm ammo" etc and root out whats needed... or keep the "9mm" and sort through in chronologic order/ thread area or other sorting means... its incredibly effective and easy as stated do it/ use on akfiles forum alot successfully
