    Minimum word length

    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.

    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.

    Sir, thats a Failed result.

    Its replacing the space with * and getting no hits.

    No hits with "xt 600" either.

    "xt*600" xt600
