1) Is it possible to set the minimum search length to 3? because i wanted to search for LR2 and couldn't....and people don't use tags so i couldn't search them either. * I only started coming back to RIU after a long time, and when i left it was possible, but now its not....*

2) I notice people like to have different sized and coloured fonts when they set posts. But you have to do each post individually. Is it possible that you could make it so that its preset?

basically, im guessing the sites using a fulltext Mysql search which means you can't search characters less than 3, but you can out a * on the end of something, and thats like...
apple* = searches for anything with apple plus more, like apples, applesauce, applemac etc... maybe try putting LR2*


PS i just tried it, and it worked..

He still didnt answer my questions though. I found out that adding a * only works for quick search and not on advanced search, which was what i needed it for (not trying to be dificult....), but thanks anyway.

Im here im just on dialup internet so my forum surfing is very slow lately, We do use full text lookup through our mysql database, so a * should do the trick as suggested. FF is here in my place to answer the tech questions :p

When i get back to high speed internet I will look at modifying the config file for mysql to allow for 3 letter queries.

And the answer to question number 2?
"2) I notice people like to have different sized and coloured fonts when they set posts. But you have to do each post individually. Is it possible that you could make it so that its preset?"

They're not going to change the FULL TEXT search just because you want to search for words less than 3 letters.
Just create a new thread...
