Searching with a short character string

[cabbie37]

Is it possible that there is a minimum length of character string that one can search on? I've been trying to locate threads that deal with such topics as 'T9' or 'G6' or 'L1' for example, but the search returns no records - even though I know such threads exist?

 

tia..

Hugh,

 

I usually get much better results by entering "rmweb" followed by the subject into my normal search engine (DuckDuckgo).

 

(I just tried it  by typing in RMweb t9 and it took me straight to the thread)

Hi

 

Try using the following from the address bar of your web browser. Similar to Vivian's reply above but using google.

 

site:rmweb.co.uk T9

 

Cheers

Thanks both. It's an obvious workaround but I'm still intruiged as to whether there is a lower limit on search strings, by accident or design!

Just that, it would add substantial load to the indexing to include every two-character incidence. Even this post would have added eight pointless instances to it. Most wider content isn't as reliant upon those phrases as we are in this hobby.

Thanks Andy, makes sense..
