Complaint about search feature

Archive: 4 posts


Why is a 3-letter word not searched in the search function? When I wanted to search "gas" (it's not really common and if it's too long the search function is retarded) it said the word was really common/too long/too short, but it's a vital thing in the LBP universe... Can the shortest-word-limit be changed to two letters? And if not, can at least the word "gas" be an exception for the search engine?2009-06-02 19:37:00

I think that gas would have been too common. Is it not easier to put more detail into your search?2009-06-02 20:26:00

The best you can do is search gas* - the * is a wildcard that means the search includes things like "gasping" etc., but it will give you some results that fit.2009-06-02 21:36:00

Dropping it to 3 characters causes the search index to be larger, indexing words like "the" and, well, "and". I can't drop it lower or we'll see an increase in search times and server queries. Sorry about that, it's just too server-intensive.2009-06-02 22:44:00
