    Default Search Function

    What's up with the search function here, it doesn't seem to work for anything. Asks for more than 4 words, I do it no work???

    Odds are with the prepared...

    I mentioned an issue with it the other day (case sensitivity)... perhaps they're fixing something on it and it's temporarily down???

    Well, it seems to be working for me...

    You sure it's not asking for more than four *letters* in a word?

    Lightbulb Search function

    I just tried the word "dog" (a three-letter word) and got the following error message:
    The search term you specified (dog) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer..
    But when I searched on "dogs", the search engine found a post from several days ago with the word "dogs" in it.

    So I think the wording in the error message is misleading, in that we have to specify at least four letters (or less if we put an asterisk on the end, such as dog*) in the search window. It apparently doesn't mean you have to search on four words...

    BTW, adding an asterisk on the end of any string of letters is called "wild carding"...
    Whether you think you can, or think you cannot, you're probably right.
