Minimum search term length
Now that we got rid of
"............... 10 char"
(Thank you BTW)
Is there anything we can do about removing the minimum length of search terms?
I'm searching the classifieds for "38 revolver" and "38" gets dropped because it is too short. I get a dozen pages littered with "revolver" - 22, 44, 357, etc. with the occasional lucky hit of a 38.
Just asking....Soap Box - Worn out : Ballot Box - Broken : Jury Box - Pending : Ammunition Box - Unknown

Re: Minimum search term length
I agree that this is maddening. However, according to the documentation the size of the database is in part related to this parameter. I worry that reducing to something like 2 characters could cause the size of the DB to grow immensely.
I'll confer with Dan on this one. In the meantime, I've found the site's Google Search to be decent in situations where the VB search tool falls on its face."Political Correctness is just tyranny with manners"
