Don't know if this has been discussed before or if indeed it is possible, but can we remove or overwrite the annoying minimum word length setting for certain words?

Here's one annoying example: UK Host

If a user tries to search for a UK Host for example, it just won't let them. Not only must this be annoying but it is limiting the functionality of the search function fairly considerably. Any way around this?

Seems like, given your example, you would enter [ "UK+Host" ]

Didn't know that, possibly that should be clarified on the search page then. Thanks SWR! :)

I think it is an indexing issue. The majority of the words are 3+ characters, and adding two character words might slow the search down. I don't have an real answer for that one but the same thing happens when people try to search for NT (as in Windows).

It is said in the vBulletin settings to limit character length so you do not take up too much server resources.
