KlondikeGeoff, in your particular case, searching for "A Tale of Two Cities" (including the quotes) would search for the exact phrase. Without the quotes, the search would reveal all posts that contain all of the keywords. Since two keywords are less than three characters, A and of, your search is aborted. I could, if desired, apply some changes to our search algorithm to not abort the search but simply ignore those two keywords and to continue the search with the remaining two. Nat mentioned the search "The House" Borderland. This would search for the literal string "The House" with the boolean AND Borderland. |

I like that idea too, proceeding with the search without the 'too short' terms.
