Hi,

Nick you may wanna change the search mini word length from 4 to 2 or 3 , we can't do search on 'ftp' or 'etc' or other key words on the forum, whats the point of forum if those searches are painfull.

Please change minimum letter length from 4 to 2.

I agree, this would make searches much more useful thus reducing the number of duplicated threads.

Yeah, I tried to do a search on FTP just yesterday...Glad someone else feels the same way.

I agree too... it's hard to search for error codes/lines using the search function. It worked well in phpBB though. That's the main use of these forums, is to search for a solution to a problem... and of course to provide help to others .

If you need to search for three letter, e.g. FTP, you could use a wilcard to push it to four characters, e.g. FTP*.
