Three-Letter Search Not Working!
I just tried it for an airport code (PDT) and I got the same old error message on regular search.
Also tried advanced search for PHL on NW WP forum and got: The search term you specified (PHL) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific. |
I encountered the same problem. I also tried logging out and back in again, to see if that would help.
The same error message appears regardless of whether I use "Search" or "Search this forum." Maybe the new three-letter search only works for administrators, or only in certain forums??? |

Search Issues
I consider myself a search guru. Not only is the three letter word search not working [Example word: ski - when looking for this thread: http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthrea...ghlight=skiing ], there also now seems to be an sporadic issues with four and five letter word searches. there is a
In the Starwood forum I attempted to find a thread titled “Best use of points” and did a search using the word “best” and it came back with an error although, the below thread, the thread I was looking for exist: http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthrea...ghlight=points I cannot remember the five letter word I or thread I was searching for. |
Sorry for the confusion all ... looks like we jumped the gun a little on the announcement. The three letter search feature is still being installed, should be ready to go within a couple of hours.
Again, my apologies ... I blame it on my itchy trigger finger. |

Why that naughty little trigger finger....fifty lashes I say! :p I guess the bright side of this is at least you didn't give us the finger! Thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation, for a moment I thought I lost my search mojo! :eek: |
3 letter searches ("LAX-JFK") in "search this thread" seem to bring up results from all kinds of different forums.

I would prefer that the results default to sorting by post-date instead of by relevance, but hey, that's just one mouse-click away. Good job, guys! |
For those of you who are confused, the new search didn't go up until approximately 10:00am Pacific Time

Searching for two or more keywords... the results will begin to display with both words but then it seems to 'forget' one of the words and only displays results for the other word. This can happen mid-page.
Also, the next-page navigation arrows don't work when displaying results. |

"LAX hotels" doesn't require both words be present "+LAX +hotels" does

It seems to work for me. I assume you are talking about the paging links above and below the result list? Also, what browser/OS are you using?
Factors that could be an issue: I use 'newest first' for thread display mode, along with 40 ppp. |
