The 4 letter limit in searchs.

Why do you have this rule? I cant search for "old man emu" or "oil cooler".

Why do we have this rule? It is a balance of database performance, and useful search results. The software keeps every word in a table to allow for searches. 4 letters allows it to perfom much better. it keeps every word with 4 or more letter available for searching. Setting it to 3 letters will include useful words such as "the" "and" "him" etc.....

I have temporarily set it to 3 letters, and rebuilt the search index. I will be keeping a close eye on the performance. If I see a decrease, it will get returned to 4.

thanks
