AmblesideOnline Forums - Search Minimums

I know we have a thread on this somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

I'm checking to see if any change has been made on the search minimums.

For example, I can't search for "Rob Roy." I think you have to use at least four or more characters in a search.

I though I was clever by using "Rob Roy Scott," but then I noticed the search ignore the "Rob Roy," and only searched for "Scott."

I don't think there's any way to change it. It's preset.

Well, there's this, and I'll try it, but from other reading, I doubt that it will work:

Can you put "Rob Roy" in quotes?

Phyllis, I just did a test with our local CM community's Forum, and it worked for me when I followed the instructions in the link you provided.

Quote:forum admin panel >> Configuration (Settings) >> Search System >> Minimum Search Word Length
change the value as required (2 or 1), save the settings and check if it works for you.

I set our minimum search word length to 0. I created a fake thread called Rob Roy, and then it found it with no problem.

I already had it set to 0 here, and I've tried 1, 2, and 3 today. None work. It's probably set in our server's MySQL.

Quotes work. I searched something with 2 letters and used quotes but I included a longer word too. I don't remember what it was.

I think the quotes only worked because you had at least one word which had four characters or more.

Thank you for trying.

Yes. I can't remember if I tried otherwise. Remembering what I was searching would help. But I can't remember anything this morning. [:P cheesy, cheesy!]
