Acorn search

[doodlebug]

On the Acorn search box if I search for something with only 3 letters eg, tag it returns no results ?

I then tested with tld knowing that there should be plenty of results and it still shows nothing so I tried seo and again nothing, ?

Admin > I can understand this being limited to 3 or more words but not 4 or more words, when you consider the relevance of terms such as seo, tag, tld etc then it would be useful if we can search for them.

Many thanks

Bit weird, this works:

have you tried adding the wildcard *

e.g seo* ?

I'm sure its not an option on vbulletin changing from 3 to 4

That works thanks, thought it should work as seo on it's own ?

As long as I can now search for tag related post using tag* or something I'm happy

Thanks

It will be set at a 4 char min as 3 char adds significant load when searching as it has to index all 3 char words which will be a lot.
Admin could change it but when ever someone searches it will tax the server
