I guess it's too few letters. Anyway, not being able to search for hacks with PM in their title is a problem, and annoying. Please make sure the hack database addresses this issue

hmm, i think that's a problem with fulltext search and mysql which appears to all board, not just here.

we'll think about that for the new features

Assuming you use fulltext search here then yes, it's a mysql problem.

I haven't looked into it fully but I don't think mysql has any sort of exceptions list for words smaller than the default it uses. Indexing all two letter words would not be a good idea.

well, i didn't look into it much further either, but it'S definitelly a mysql thing, as we use full text search here

You can set it in vBulletin under Message Search Options. You may need to also set it on the MySQL server itself. However, it can be done. vBulletin also provides an exception list to exclude common two letter words. I have my forum setup this way and it works fine.

it's not a problem of vb.

exclude words is easy, you talk about include words, and as we using full text, you have to set it on mysql (if that's possible) which would at least need a serveradmin, nothing i can do myself...

I'm not quite sure what you are saying. Setting it in vb is a snap. Took me about ten minutes to change the setting and come up with a list of common two letter words (via google). vBulletin screens out those words before even sending them to MySQL.

Since every board gets it's own MySQL database having your host change the minimum too two letters should not be a problem.

Those vBulletin settings only have an influence if you are using the vB search engine, not if you are using MySQL Full Text searches.

MySQL FullText searching is limited to msyql, not vB, the vB search settings as marco has said do not take effect on mysql's fulltext searches.

We'd need to recompile php, and make it search very tiny words, this would mean the indexes would grow larger and be less useful and drain the server more.

I very much doubt we are going to allow mysql to index 2 letter words.

vBulletin disagrees with you.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
