Hi Parker,

Thanks for your reply. We have already set the limit to four words in my.cnf, however if a user search for a string with three words he gets the error message "Sorry - no matches". Instead I would like to have the message "Sorry - search for at least four words"... for example.

The limit on the search user or the "error_searchnametooshort" does not work for us.

You can try it out here: http://forum.sweclockers.com/search.php. It's in Swedish, but the layout is the same.
