skidragoon Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Does anyone else find it a hassle when searching that you have to have 5 characters min for each word? I can't search Catcher in the rye or There was a time I.R.S is a given, i remember when it was limited at 3, and that was pretty hard and now its just a hassle... Does anyone know the reason to why its limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 It's to save space, and keep the forum faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eRomano Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Searches are limited to 5 characters to speed up the searches, not to save up on space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack99 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I think everyone in here would prefer a faster forum rather slow on with an overloaded server due to searches for "axl" and "gnr". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrose Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I think everyone in here would prefer a faster forum rather slow on with an overloaded server due to searches for "axl" and "gnr".What about one with 4 characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratomaster Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) I see your point, when its limited to a certain amount of characters... The same topics come up every week anyway though so why bother in the first place. Edited March 29, 2006 by stratomaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
