lannarebirth Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I've just discovered that words of less than 5 characters are not allowed for parameters. It was bad enough when it was 3 or less, n ow it's practically useless. Next retuning of the website, maybe take a look at expanding search capability rather than restricting it? Just a suggestion.

george Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Please try the Google Custom Search Box on all forum pages (under the thaivisa Logo). It's much better than the search provided by the forum software. We will soon release a new search experience, I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eek Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 i really miss having that search function at 3 letters. Having it set at 5 letters makes it somewhat a redundant function for keywords. I used it a LOT... Can you please reconsider resetting it back to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 p.s: The google custom search doesnt allow for searching only within a specific forum, making it a bit of a nightmare if you dont enjoy trawling through tons of threads. If there is a way to make it forum specific that i dont know of, please can you inform me how to do that. Otherwise, again, pleaaaaaaase bring back the 3 word search function.

Mossfinn Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) allow for searching only within a specific forum, making it a bit of a nightmare if you dont enjoy trawling through tons of threads. If you use the Search function top right between members and help it is better. Click on more search options. Key in your search criteria. Then click in which forum you wish to search, If you hold 'ctrl' down you can search more than one forum. You can then refine it to single out a particular poster. Doesn't help the limited letters but is overall a better search option in my opinion. Moss Edited July 9, 2008 by Mossfinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I agree that it is a good search option mossfinn and have used it from time to time, but as you say, the new restrictive 5 character minimum stiII stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I agree that it is a good search option mossfinn and have used it from time to time, but as you say, the new restrictive 5 character minimum stiII stands. I'll put my vote in for reducing the character limit also for all the reasons eek has stated. I also use the internal search engine exclusively due to forum specific and member specific search abilities. Plus the keyword flexibility when using the advanced features. Sorry, but the localized Google search results are just too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
