Minimum Word Length?

Searches on the forum now have a minimum word length of four words? That’s the error message I’m getting now, anyway. I’m positive it was as short as one word earlier.

Not entirely unrelated:

I move that when someone writes a post that is below the required number of characters, they have to write “Baltar” to get to the character minimum

I’m able to do a search with under 4 words, but the words themselves have to be at least 4 characters long, which I find really, really annoying.

So you can’t search for Erf?

It’s been this way as long as I remember it. Then again, I’ve only been here for a few months.

Haven’t we all had enough of searching for Erf?

I was. But now that we’ve had our Star Wars break, I’m ready to start again. Especially since I’m suffering from arm-porn withdrawl.

Wow, this is an old thread.

Yeah, I was misunderstanding the error message. The three letter thing is annoying though. You can get around it a bit if you search in quotes (e.g. “found Erf”) since it treats it as one word.

There are no old threads. This is not the Pike you’re looking for. Let them pass.

you can go about your business. move along

I noticed that as well. Very annoying. We should form a protest or something.

hey hey! ho ho! this 4-or-more-characters-per-word-to-search party’s got to go!
