Search engine nonfunctional

Post by MaryAnn »

The search engine ignores searched items that it doesn't recognize as "real words."
Things like 2J, BBb, Eb, it ignores, and it tells you it ignored them. This really, really needs to be fixed for the search function to mean very much in this particular forum. Perhaps there is a glossary function? Perhaps there is a way to simply turn off this "helpful" function?

MA;
It needs a word of at least 3 letters. That said, I tried "BBb", and the first post that came up was the one you made above. It didn't even care that "bbb" isn't much of a word.

So at least for 3 letters and bigger, it seems to work just fine.
