Forest Fire Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Like too many forums, this one has a minimum length for search terms. Here it seems to be four letters. While I understand the reasoning behind the restriction, it is like killing flies with dynamite. You may get the undesired fly, but you cause a whole lot of other problems in the process. For instance, there are a lot of short tech terms that do not appear in general literature, and can't be found using the forum search feature, even though it is the only reasonable way to find information on the subject. For example, we cannot search on Qt, not even Qt5. Why not? It is a perfectly reasonable search term and is needlessly banned because it is only two or three letters. There needs to be more discrimination in the banning process. Can something be done to change this? Consider these too, all terms that should be searchable. var log xml tmp xfs zfs ufs src etc dev usr ssh I'm sure there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted March 29, 2015 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I updated the search settings so 3-word search terms should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
