i think reducing the minimum character requirement (or at least making search more effective) could potentially reduce storage space, rather than add more load. if it where more effective, the resource forums wouldn't have 80 topics of the exact question. one day you answer a question about centering a layout, the next day there are five more because the poster didn't know how to use the search feature. "div" is a three letter word, so no one can search for that, yet all of these topics are "omg help me center my div lyt!"
that, and the only way to get a worthwhile result is to use the advanced search. if someone searches for "center layout" using the regular search, it returns just about every topic. |

A lot of people don't even know where the Advanced Search feature is so maybe if it was more accessible people would use it more often and have less complaints about searching for things. I know Jusun says that allowing three letter words cause server problems, but if it automatically limits the search to the last 12 months or something wouldn't that help?
