Went to do a search for PRK in the medical forum and received the following error message:
Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
The error returned was:
One or all of your search keywords were below 4 characters or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords.

Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars.

As far as the View New Posts option - works fine for me - maybe it was a temporary gremlin?
OK - I have allowed 3 characters or more for the search. (I am not sure why this is a variable.)

The gremlin seems to have left. It may have bene a temporary thing, as earlier I had problems with the 'View New Posts' option, then a minute later it worked.
Thanks for the quick repsonse!

I also am having search issues. I've tried searching things like "KC-135" or "Nav" or other simple phrases and all I get is.../
You searched for: KC-135
Unfortunately your search didn't return any results.
Try broadening the search parameters by searching by different keywords or altering the format of your search.
Remember to use the wildcard '*' to increase the number of matches. Apple* will match 'apple' and 'apples'.

For aircraft, most folks on this board omit the hyphen - try searching for c130 or kc135 or herc or herk etc.

As the search nazi, I've noticed a problem. Anything that is entered with three letters doesn't produce a result (it shows a similar message as above). I used some very common acronyms like UPT, BAH, and words like "car" - it produces no results in the normal or expanded search. If you do a combined search, it will show returns with the other words, but nothing with the three-letter word. Any ideas?

Guys,
I checked it out and can't think of a way to fix it. I reduced the characters required for search and still get errors. This may be an inherent error within this version. There is a new version released, but I don't have the time right now to install it.
Give me a few days and we will upgrade to the latest version and hope that fixes this bug...

OK - the search problem has been fixed.
Now as few as 3-character strings will work (including PRK, UPT, C-12, etc.) - However, the change in search configuration will increase server load and users may experience delays (but still end up with the results you want...)
Let me know if it is functioning better now (albeit with a slight delay).

Seems to work fine - I've cleaned out a bunch of old threads on popular topics that had multiple-pages of threads (LASIK, IFS, vision, etc.) with minimal responses.
When you fixed the three-digit search problem, did you do something to the "Advanced Search Help" button on the expanded search option page? It was up by the "Search by keywords" container on the top left.

The feature set changed as a result of the options that I selected -- result = better search, but slower and with different options.

I think the 3 letter search gremlin may be back. I tried searching for CFI and got nothing. I even tried to expanded options, and just looked in thread titles, still got nothing, even thought there was a thread that a noob started with CFI in the title.
Thoughts?

I believe you are right. I just tried searching on 'CFI' and got the following...
And of course it should have picked up your post.
However, I don't know what to do to fix this. If BaseOps doesn't come up on this thread, I'll let him know...

Any changes to this? Trying to search for any threads on PIT and getting the three letter error. Tried Randolph, FAIP, etc, but nothing definitive is coming up.

Unfortunately the three-letter search process is still not functional. However, I have tried to keep searching easier by modifying any thread titles with three-letter acronyms to the spelled-out version along with the acronym. So if you use the expanded search function to search for "Instructor" (yields fewer results than "Pilot" or "Training") you find Information on PIT (Pilot Instructor Training).
