Searching restrictions

[sebba]

Hello,

I'm somehow new here but an "old" user of your great software.
My problem, for now, is I cannot do a proper search on forum.
I have some issues, TCP TP related and it is impossible to search for in forum.
I tried to search for "TCP TP" and combinations but every time I have same response: The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words:

I know, these rules are made not to overload the server but as far as your software use these terminology I think we should be able to search for this kind of words.
Now, because I cannot have a proper search, I have to start another topic with a problem which could be already covered but hard to find.

Best regards,
Seb

HI,
I'm not sure what to do about this. I haven't played with the search function in years. I just tried it again and I notice that it says all words must have >= 3 characters (so "ip" won't work as a search term). I get some searches OK, but may common key words result in "words to common". It is rather annoying.
Alas, The search function is part of the board software and I didn't set up any parameters for how it works - it just does what the board software does.
