Question 2 Quick Suggestions - Search Function and Post Statistics

2 Quick Suggestions:

1. Can we eliminate the minimum number of characters required in a term under the search function? It appears to be set at 3. I frequently want to search for a small number of letters in a term such as "nismo CAI." The search function kicks back the CAI part stating the term is too short so I end up searching only for "Nismo" which gives hundreds of hits on issues not related to the CAI.

2. Is there a way that the overall post statistics could be listed somewhere on the site? I know it does not serve a functional purpose but, it would be fun to see who the top ten are and where you stand individually as time goes by.

Keep up the great work!

I believe (and I may be wrong here), that running search requests for such small character strings would bring the server to a grinding halt. Five people run a search for "to" at the same time, and we'd crash. As I said, I may be totally wrong, but this is my experience with most search strings on servers in the past.

Shoot me a PM if you want to know post stats I'll talk to Kyle about seeing what we can do re a public display. The Admins have a panel that lets us look all this stuff up. Rest assured that with 162 posts, you're not in the top 10% of our 17,000+ members yet Hint: I'm only #2!

Any luck on doing something with the minimum search string? The setting here appears to be different than on my350z. As an example, I can search on my350z for "jet hot" and it gives me responses. However, if I search here, it tell me that the minimum length is not met.

Can we change the character minimum here to match my350z? There are a ton of searches terms that involve 3 characters. (And it always seems as though I want to use them. . . )
