Title: Minimum search length
Post by: rich83 on April 22, 2013, 02:54:16 pm

Can this be turned off please? It makes the search absolutely useless for certain terms....


....annoying.


p.s.   the search term I'm searching for is NOT "DV"   :signLOL:

We struggle with server load as it is so given most people will still search for DV it's not something I am going to consider changing at this time.

Ok... no probs... but it does render it a bit useless.... Cant you just block the term DV  :smiley:

For instance... even searching H&R doesnt work   :stupid:

If the search machine uses boolean then it will see that as a 2 letter search.

Go to google, in search box type:

"Site:www.mk5golfgti.co.uk h&r"

Without the speech marks.

It's how I searched for smaller words

Sex change?
Mood change?
Your mind?.
