Thread: Minimum Search Word Character Length

I was doing a search in the suspension classifieds for "KYB", "AGX", and "KYB AGX", and it turned up no results even though I was staring at a specific post for KYB AGX shocks (a wanted that I posted).

Is the minimum search word length 4? If so, would the mods/admins consider changing this? There are a LOT of three character terms/abbreviations/manufacturer names surrounding our engines and cars.

KYB, AGX, B12-B15, H&R, etc, etc...

It's been discussed to death. Upgrading the forum has helped some, but lowering the minimum to 3 characters breaks the server due to other sites that are hosted on our dedicated server.

@Crim can possibly look into a solution now that we've upgraded to relatively new software.

Here are the other threads on this topic in chronological order. Discussion probably belongs in the first one.
