There's a nice thread in the big boards forum about searching :) Though I doubt vB will run the search for their forums to show their software with a not-built-in software :P

While it's possible to allow 3-letter words to be searchable with FULLTEXT searching turned on it's not something that can be changed from the admincp. Allowing 3-letter words would also fill the index up with a ton of new data that is bound to slow searching down again.

It's a catch-22 until someone comes up with a better way of searching records in a mySQL database. If your forum ever gets as large as this one you'll have the same problem. :)

and what about google search :p

I don't think Google uses MySQL. ;)

I prefer fulltext indexing over the standard vBulletin one... it's actually easier to use if you know about it. Of course you are screwed with the short words anyway, but as Ziki (probably unknowingly) suggested you can search on Google to find things on this site.

But that's not as useful as the search of the forum itself, since the results are displayed completely different.

Throw an asterisk onto three-letter words. Example: xbt*

That doesn't work. It searches for words of at least four letters that start with xbt.
