Considering that extensions for most formats (doc, pdf, rtf, lit...) have only three letters, I think it would be very useful.

View Full Version : Would it be possible to do three-letter searches? Andanzas 07-08-2007, 07:47 AM Considering that extensions for most formats (doc, pdf, rtf, lit...) have only three letters, I think it would be very useful. yvanleterrible 07-08-2007, 05:20 PM Two letters too. I was looking for UK and it wasn't possible. Alexander Turcic 07-08-2007, 06:13 PM Modifying our search engine to include three-letter searches (or even two-letters) is not as trivial as it might seem. We'd have to reconfigure our database server. Most likely, it could lead to a decrease in performance and a considerable increase in the search index. I'll have done some internal testing first and if it's OK, we'll go down to three-letter searches. bojan 07-08-2007, 07:32 PM Three or two letters search would be great, but what I'm REALLY missing is "AND" with multiple key words search! There is a lot of useful information here at MR forum, but it's really hard to find anything without this. Alexander Turcic 07-10-2007, 05:03 AM OK, three-letter searches are now supported, both in our forums and in the Wiki. bojan, boolean AND's are supported with multiple key words.

What a help in finding posts! Chalk up one more super fast coding miracle by Alex! ;) bojan 07-10-2007, 08:56 AM Works like a charm, thanks a lot Alex.:) volwrath 07-10-2007, 10:50 PM Also on those sites that wont let you use a three letter search, just do it from google aka search for "lit site:mobileread.com" |
