allow less than 4 characters in forum search

[lipwak]

Hi,

I don't see the value in not allowing less than 4 characters in a search term. Example: I can't search for IE (Internet Explorer). Also, the fact that it rejects certain words can be a problem too if those words are integral to the search.

Thank you.

Hi again John,

If you are referring to a Proboards forum search, please direct the query to Proboards which is the company which hosts this forum. I have no control over what they do. Sorry.

Best,
Howard

It looks like it will be changed in an upcoming revision.
