So, i got a new apple g5 case from one of my friends, and remembering that there were some threads on here about modding them i decided to search for them this is what i got. "The search term you specified (g5) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer." Awesome! i searched for "g5 casemod" next... "The search term you specified (g5) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. " Super. So bit-tech how do I look for threads in project logs that include "g5" in the title? I know it is to prevent searches of in, a, and other things like that, but common this is just getting dumb.
g5* works I actually tried to force the forum to search for G5 and a space combined. I used the google method of using ""'s "g5 " is what i searched. The forum corrected it by itself for "g5*", which means that a space can be replaced by * when you search a two characters word
We always talk about putting in an IQ test as part of the membership form. I think this question can fill the part. Seriously, did you wake up yesterday and just start using the internets? I mean, you joined a geek forum and complain that you can't find a work around for a 3 letter minimum? Dude, you=fail. Creative thinking skills eff tee double U.
The reason you can't search for "g5" is because we run mysql with a minimum word length of 3 to keep search fast and reduce the index storage space. Alternatively you could type "site:forums.bit-tech.net g5" into google.
Ok, I was on the phone all morning with the power company. I might have vented a bit. And, as a semi sober adult, I apologize. Seriously though, * = wildcard search.
