    Hi folks, there's a little problem about the search system, when you type a little word, such like "he6", it would mention words too short. I barely think it's a problem at first, but just feel a little inconvenient.

    Lots of forum search engines are like that. When that happens, I just use google with the results restricted to the site I want to search.

    Ex.
    site:.superbestaudiofriends.org "he6"

    Wrap in or end with asterisks. For example:

    *he6*

    This can be fixed in code. Give me a few days.

    I happened to notice this about the he6 a few weeks back while doing a search. How short is too short, typically?

    Glad to see the workaround and that purrin will fix it. It has made searching difficult for me on more than one occasion.
