AFF Search settings

Maybe @Admin can help. I'm trying to use the AFF forum search for the following:

LAX Security Bag Drop Off, and I get this:



So essentially its searching "Security Drop"

Is there some way to improve my search?

sometimes I use the search criteria in google and include Australian Frequent Flyer and that works

Thank you @serfty and @VPS . using google just seems a bit of a roundabout solution. Given the propensity of acronyms used on AFF the search options should be able to accept short words.

Youl need to speak with Xenforo developers.

Youl need to speak with Xenforo developers.

Given that the OP is one of AFF customers, should not AFF speak to the developers?

I believe they have.

This is a MySQL limitation. The default minimum word length to be indexed is 4. While it's possible to lower this, it would result in slower searching. There's always a trade off. As there is already a workaround to find shorter words, it's probably not necessary for us to change the search settings.
