    Why are three letter words blocked?

    I try to use the search function as much as possible on this board to avoid being redundant but three letter words are disregarded in the search option. So if I were to search for "cum shot content" it would disregard the word "cum" and only search for "shot content". I realize you are trying to avoid "the" and "and" but some other good words are three letters too! Is it possible to have this changed?

        I agree, there are a lot of things that are three letters in porn. Searching for BBW and Fat (like, looking for content) I cant search!

            My main business is with 3D stuff. Every time I'm looking for anything involving 3D I have to start a new post instead of being able to search and go through old ones that may be beneficial.

                  yes I noticed this too and wanted to post a thread like this before. It's very annoying that you can't search for 3 letter words, like icq, mp3, pda etc etc Everytime again I flip of this.

                    Because this board probably uses MySQL version 3.23.x (the latest stable). 4 characters is the minimum.
                    See http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html

                    Full text searches are also very limited with MySQL.
                    WHERE blah LIKE '%blah%' can't be used because that would take way too long on big tables.

                    MySQL 4.0.1 or up can do boolean full-text searches on huge databases but it will probably take a while before they release a 'stable' version.
                    go sig yourself

                      Why not just use wild cards?

                      For instance, I just tried AVS* and it worked.

                      Am I being obtuse here?

                        I am pretty sure if you use an asterisk wildcard, it will only match things like "AVSsite" and "AVS1", etc. It won't match "AVS".
