honestly, the search engine is a very poor search engine.
first, it will return the topic which is totally different with the search keyword. second, i can't seach LG product, because LG is only 2 character. lousy...... |

honestly you need to read some of the tips on searching before complaining. The limits are imposed by the database itself, and there are ways to complete the search. And when all else fails, there is google.

OK, just for fun I"m going to create a second search index to include digrams and compare the size difference.
There's no doubt that the MySQL fulltext index isn't the most powerful around, but it happens to be the most convenient to implement. Furthermore, when you consider the lengths of each individual post around here (i.e. short), other products might not be able to do much better  |
