Search function not working

Hi,
Search function does not work, it comes up as no topics found.

A simple obvious search like mod 4 brings up the no topics found.

Cheers.

Hi Shaun,

I just put “module 4” into the search function in the Newbies Forum, then I got…

Search found 2529 matches: module 4

My guess is that there’s a minimum number of characters that must be entered into the search box before it’ll work, but I’ll stand to be corrected by those who understand it better than me.

I’ve tried a couple of other searches, and they worked too. :smiley:

Yeah you are right Module 4 came up with loads and Mod 4 came up with zilch.

Thanks.

You’re right Dave and the magic number of characters in a word that must be entered is four, as far as I’m aware it’s always been that way.

That’s the same on a lot of forum boards, in fact I think you’ll find four is the magic number on most boards.
