    Sub Forum Search

    The minimum length of search term strings is too low.

    Searching the buy/sell/trade for 'Yamaha R6' searches only for 'Yamaha' because 'R6' is too short.

    However most people will refer to the bike as an 'R6' and not 'YZF-R6' or some other concatenation.

    I know why there is a minimum limit, but could you make it shorter for only the buy/sell/trade sub forum?

    Cheers guys.

    Does your search work if you put:
    "Yamaha R6"
    Or:
    Yamaha & "R6"
    Or even
    "R6"

    With a lot of search engines these explicit searches will work where an open search will not.

    It has to be applied to the whole database and a rebuild of the indexes done.

    You can search Yamaha in the make section and R6 in the model section on the "Bike Trader" area of KB.

    What're you talking about exactly?

    This works spot on, I didn't realise vbulletin searches could take operators etc. Thanks Fella!
