The search could not be completed because the search keywords were too short, too long, or too common.

How do i stop this? Do terms need to be longer than 3 characters?

You've asked about the search limitations recently.

XF 1.4 - Improving the search

Brogan pointed you to the answer to this question in his first response in that thread.

Yes i know that thanks.

Still can't get my head around the search and the thread you linked to got a bit fragmented.

Maybe you could help, is it 3 or 4 characters? Why does the search do this? It's really annoying. Are there any other limitations I should know about?

 

[Martok]

If you read point 13 of the FAQ that Brogan linked you to, it says:

Why can't I search for words with 3 characters or less?

So obviously from this words have to be 4 or more characters.

Thanks Martok

[Martok]

The limitations are stated in points 13 and 14 in the FAQ that you were linked to.

Cheers. I have replied to your other thread too.
