V7.0.2
The 'Minimum Searchable Word Length' variable appears to work properly in that searching for a string less than the value set does indeed respond with: "We can not proceed, All of your search keywords were too short. Please try again."

However, regardless of the 'Minimum Searchable Word Length" setting, searching for strings of 3 or less characters will always result in "We can not proceed, There are no results for your query. Please try a broader range of search criteria." I.E., setting the minimum length variable to '2', then searching for any three character combination will deliver no results.

Is this a limitation in mySQL full text boolean search? If so, it should be noted in the CP Search screen where that minimum value is set. UBB.c 6.7x allowed these small character string searches. My users would certainly like that back. As an example, they'd like to be able to search for "Code 53" and not have the 53 thrown out as too short a string, or ignored (Which is what the current implementation is doing).


Stress the system until it breaks. Hey.. it works for Spacecraft.. why not here?
