G_Fresh Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Didn't know who to PM this about... The search only allows a min of 4 characters to be search Example: I can't search DC level 3 because DC and 3 are too short. Or i can't search Big 3 because both words are too short... The error returned was:One or all of your search keywords were below 4 characters or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords.

The enD Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) I noticed the same thing the first time I got on the forum. I was looking for "Fi BTL" and guess what ... Can somebody fix it Edited March 23, 2009 by The enD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) The reason for it is that 3 letter words will bring up a lot more unwanted results than something with four or more letters.... For example, your "Fi" search would yield results with FIxed, FIller, FInkster (me hehe), and so forth...In a perfect world the engine would match up the words exactly, but until then that is why i think it is setup like that...

may03LT Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 yeah i noticed that as well, even ca glue in quotes didnt work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) thats why you (usually) are able to put something in quotes to only match the exact pgrase, so "dc level 3" would onle return results that had "dc level 3" written out like that, not every post that contained 'dc comics', 'dc current', ' i beat level 3 of mario', etc.... if someone could change that, it would be nice edi: remembered something a friend showed me go to google type in what you want, say "dc level 3" (with or without caps, wtvr, just anything the smd search doesnt like) put in a space and then"site:http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com" (without quotes) it uses google's crawler to search only this site for the term you specified, pretty neat huh?

raytard Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 no problem and its google, so uk, all those other tricks work as well "something in quotations" matches exact phrase plus+sign+between+words finds pages with all of those words, but not necessarily in order Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
