Any chance of the the min. word length being reduced to 3 chars for the XF company forums?

[CTXMedia]

I'm trying to search for things like IRC - SQL - PHP - IPB etc. and can't - is there any chance the XF company server could be modified to allow indexing of three character items?

Alternatively, is there a way to fudge the forum search facility to find them?

Cheers,
Shaun

I expect once the official XenForo.com site is upgraded to 1.1 and is utilising the new search system, this will no longer be an issue.

Shaun, try using a wildcard to make it four characters: irc*

What's the new search system?

I think I read something about being able to use Sphinx for searching.

[edit]
It also seems another search solution is being developed:

I've seen it in action but it's not for me to give away any details.

Here are a few links to comments made on it by Kier:

I will be able to search up to two-letter brand names?
