This is a really small problem that a lot of people probably haven't noticed. When you use the search feature, it won't search for any words that are 3 letters or less. I've run into not being able to search what I'm looking for on ocassion, and it's kinda frustrating. I'm not sure if that's actually changable, but it'd be great if you could take it into consideration!
probably because of search overload, and if that was shortened, will most likely slow down the forum

It'd also yeld alot of results that have nothing to do with anything.
thats because it also searches the thread, and not just the thread title
os if you searched for henry hoover, anything with the word "henry" or "hoover" will be displayed, wether its someone's sig, a comment or anything

I'm sorry I cannot amend this. The reason = Server overload if it's searching for two or three character results - it'll tax it like nothing else. Imagine searching the word "and" - it would create a lot of overload and slow up the speed considerably for others. As for la and uk, if I allowed two character searches you'd get anything from labia to puke / anything with those two characters together would show up in the result - that's a lot of overhead!
I have included, however, some exceptions awhile back. Any of the three character trick numbers such as 180, 360, 540, 720, 900 are all searchable / I can create exceptions. If you guys have some new exceptions you would like added to that list post them.
sex, you should definately add that!
s/t
though i doubt someone would search that rather than swingthrough or swing-thru or something.

Alright, thanks for looking into it. I didn't even think of a server overload when I was thinking of negative outcomes of you changing this.

nooooo, i love you lots chris, but im saying, alot of people get flamed for having a trick list, in theory this is a trick list in disguise.
ok heres the scenario
peter parker = trick list
spiderman = sessh sig
to some people, spiderman may look like some badass motherfucker who has no relation to that emo cock peter parker, but while some see that, others see through the disguise and notice they are infact, the same thing, just spiderman is more colorful
(both spiderman and peter parker though must be virgins, because both are too scared to fuck mary-jane)
in theory this is a trick list in disguise.
ok heres the scenario
peter parker = trick list
spiderman = sessh sig
Amen.
