Search on 2-char Tags

[psref]

When a user does a search for something that is less than 3 characters, Pligg says "no results found." I'm guessing there's logic in there to enforce a minimum of 3 chars. Unfortunately, I have tags for states like "nh" and when a user clicks on those tags, they get "no results". Does anyone know where this setting is?

Thanks!

There's most likely not a setting for this, but you need to adjust the sourcecode if you want to allow short tags like that.

I'm not sure but I think it's a limitation/restriction in MySQL, see Change the full text index minimum word length with MySQL and Fine-Tuning MySQL Full-Text Search -default minimum value is four characters.

Also, you can go to Admin > Configure > Misc > Search Method and you can choose what method you want to use. Maybe altering the search method will give you a result for two chars.

Thanks for the response. I was looking through the source code. I'm not looking for MySQL to do a fulltext search on 2-char, but I'd like to still match the tags for 2-char tags. I found where the setting is.

In search.php, line 101

if(strlen($search->searchTerm) < 3 && strlen($search->url) < 3 && !$search->s_date)

Change the first 3 to a 2

if(strlen($search->searchTerm) < 2 && strlen($search->url) < 3 && !$search->s_date)

Uploaded this change, and now search works for matching 2-char tags.
