Common words used in search entries

by Sorgiende » Tue Jun 16, 2015 3:21 am

For some reason, the search feature on the forums consistently ignores search entries that use "common words." That is kind of silly. I wanted to search for topics concerning "pve servers," and while I'm sure the subject is well debated, there is no way those two words combined together are "too common" and must be ignored. That is a pretty specific entry, and I think the search bar really needs to be less selective about what it searches for.

I completely agree, the search system does need some work but I'd say the developres are needed for more urgent things, such as mechanics and bugs, not to mention future patches.

Searching for "Terms of Use" results in:
Code: Select all
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: terms use of.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

Yeah I've ran into this quite a bit myself. Really annoying when you want to search for a specific topic but can't. I've had to get creative and swap out words but then you're not guaranteed to get all the topics pertaining to your search. Really wish the search feature was more relaxed in terms of what's deemed "too common."
