Is there any reaosn why you can't search for a word that is less than 4 characters?
What use is the Search function if all I get is this message: "The search term you specified (van) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. " when searching for an entry like Paul van Dyk??
I think this is absolutely ridiculous.. |

true, but if you look at the number of 3 & 2 letter words such as the, do, to, are, etc will require a larger search index, and searches will take longer. |

'marco v' works pretty good :D |

| At a guess I'd say it's probably more to do with the massive load that searches place on the servers with making the search results more accurate. |
