FlyTester Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 The new site has some search issues. I discovered these the past 2 days while trying to research the Hartzell "B" hub and window tint colors. 1. Search for the word "hub" and you'll get an error message telling you that words less then 4-characters long are invalid. Accordingly...a search for "propeller hub" returns results only for "propeller" since the word "hub" (being less than 4 characters) is ignored. I think 4-characters is too long. There are plenty of 3-letter words of a technical nature that one might use in a search string. (eg. hub, pin, die, fee, tig, etc) 2. Sometimes the 4-character rule is misapplied and certain words are not-allowed. Apparently the word "color" is not allowed. Searching for "window color" or "paint color" returns results for "window" and "paint" respectively. Simply search for "color" and one is told that the word is not allowed. Quote
mooniac58 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 I will check to see if there is a setting for this that I can change Quote
mooniac58 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 I was able to change the min search word length to 3 - but I cannot find any list of "non searchable words" - I will research more online Quote
mooniac58 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Looks like words like "color" are going to stay forbidden because they are common HTML keywords and would in effect match many non-related posts. I will post a new complaint with the IPBoard people though - I have to imagine they can work around this somehow with a little creativity Quote
