Why I lie to you all

I'm posting this thread to point out a weakness of our search algorithm.

Every word in the title should come up as too short or too common to search for, we should change that if its not too hard

Ha ha. I just created, look for it, an unsearchable thread title. Go me. You'll never catch me cause I'm invisible.

Do you want to live a lie?

i have never found a good search engine
i am enraged by the utter shittiness of the major ones
they have the tech to be good, but they actively choose to be garbage

The minimum length is configurable and for some reason the admins here decided to set it to 4.
There are dozens of things that can be improved either on the forum or on the sever to more effectively clean or find things, but I do not own the sever.

Click bait

CLICK BAIT!

Actually its just the first string of 3 letter words I came up with that sorta made sense. Clickbait woulda been lying about sex which also would work.

This server is not fast by default, they don't want to overload it with the large number of search results that short words would give.

Yeah but if you search a 1 short and 1 long word thread title like "banned, why" you get just 7 pages of "banned" which is nearly useless.

Is this site using a major search engine for its local searches, or is it home grown? I'ts pretty simple to make a search engine that works with regular expressions.

someone of a normal part of most message boards.
There is something that I believe could help out more with it, though requires being on another server which can run on a VM if anything. But the idea has to be pushed up to the one who does the server.
