i was trying to answer a topic in General Disc about the JDM GT4 and was looking for that old post labeled, "So you want a JDM GT4?" Of course the search turned up nothing because 'want' is the only word over or at 4 letters long.
Is there a way that the search can pick up words that are 3 letters? considering that most of acronyms that we use are all 3 letters such as MAP, GT4, JDM, AWD, etc... -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |

I believe this is actually impossible given the forum software- coom's addressed it before.

[right][snapback]223449[/snapback][/right] http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=18845 the problem is that the forum software does searches by "full words" and seems to be hardwired to more than 4 characters only. |

Shid, you didn't look at all of his comments:
3 letter search word thread #1 3 letter search word thread #2 Perhaps Coom could just weigh in here. Coom have you looked into this in any depth yet? Thanks for your efforts. - Jay -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Your thread (the first one linked) is pretty old, Coomer's upgraded the site since then and had a chance to way in (the thread I linked is early November this year) the second thread you linked is just as recent as the same one I posted, and basically says the same thing; Coom would have to rebuild the entire database and even then it still might not work.
While I was semantically off in describing it as impossible; it's still not an easy fix. Coom even states that simply changing the 3 letter minimum to three won't change anything- this is what I meant by hardwired |
