Search "word length"?

[Rainey]

WTF?? Lol. Just been trying to do a search on the site. Have you any idea how difficult it is to search specifically if every word must be over 4 letters? Lol. Pain in the backside. Is there a reason for this? Or was it a default that was forgotten about?

Rainey!! :cool:

its standard its a lot of strain on the server if you search for words what would be the point on searching for "the" "a" really common words as well unless there is some thing we can do to help this but for now its going to have to stay like this I think unless there is a work around?

Isnt most forums like this??

Was just searching for Match Of the Day. Leaving only one word to search for, giving two pages of results. Lol. Just a bit frustrating. :)

Rainey!! :cool:

Yea I thought that! :) Ach its just Rainey being a big moan as usual! :p :laugh:

[freetones]

lol it might be an idea I am sure tinks has said this before lol could be an idea to have it setup so can search in some cases

[Rainey]

Generic words, like "of", "the", "and", "a", "to", etc etc, I can understand. But if it takes too much bandwidth, then don't worry about it. :) I think "Match of the day" was just an unlucky start for me to search. lol
