Search terms

Post by infidel »

The forum search function is sometimes is a bit of a nanny, for instance if you search for "xbox" it tells you:
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: xbox.
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
and similarly for 'xbox 360', 'sony' and others. Can this unhelpfulness be turned off?

I too wondered if that was by design or not....

Looks like this issue is back, possibly due to recent forum upgrade :).
