Minimum word length

[Delphinus]

I notice when trying to search for info on a specific bike say XT 600 the XT is below the minimum word length of 3 chars. Since alot of bike models are 2 letters this can get a bit frustrating.
Is it possible to lower the minimum word length to 2 or will this affect performance detrimentally?
Is there any other way round this?

Cheers.

Yeah I realise that, but that doesn't pick up posts where its separated.

Blimey. Is this a moment where it becomes paramount to record manufacturer information correctly just so the search function on KB will work? Blimey!

Yup found that, but even "XT+600" errors out.

Jim2 has kindly informed me that the correct use of model numbers is without the space. Will use that method for writing and searching from now on.

Use:

"xt 600" xt600

in the search field.

Use:

"xt 600" xt600

in the search field.

Sir, thats a Failed result.

Its replacing the space with * and getting no hits.

No hits with "xt 600" either.


"xt*600" xt600
