Search annoyance

Postby Dan » Wed Apr 21, 2010 6:59 pm

Trying to search with a keyword "feathers"

Section Specific

Topic titles only

and it gives me this bs:

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: feathers.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

"feathers" is NOT a vague search word when you target a forum section and set to topic titles only.

Can this be removed? It really makes things impossible to search.

How many topics can there possibly be in the health section with the keyword feathers?
Honestly, is this forum really that big that feather health gets discussed hundreds of times?

I tried looking up "cage pictures" and both words were too vague to be used as well. I understand words like "the, and, an, a, for, bird, parrot" but feathers, cage, pictures.... all definitely fair game when searching.

Just a glitch that needs to be fixed.

I expanded the common words limit and now words like feathers and cage pictures should return search results. The only down side is it will be too much results but I guess that's better than nothing.

Much thanks!

I searched again with "feathers" and got 4 results, only 4 in the health section with feathers in the title.

and 2-3 of the 4 are exactly the information I was looking for.

What a huge help that is.
