how can the internal search engine search for 3 letter words

[CiberBob]

Hello,

I am contacting you because I have a cryptocurrency forum and we have a lot of 3 letter words, how can the internal search engine search for 3 letter words?

Example: NFT, BTC, ETH ....

thank you so much

Like most search engines, you can add quotes to search words directly. So; "NFT" will search the exact phrase. See if it works for you?

If you are the standard search, you need to be aware that mysql by default is limited to 4 and above chars in searches. So in order to search for 3 letter words, you would need to have your hosting company amend your mysql full text settings. Your hosting company will already be aware, however these are ft_min_word_len and innodb_ft_min_token_size

Si vous êtes la recherche standard, vous devez savoir que mysql par défaut est limité à 4 caractères et plus dans les recherches. Ainsi, pour rechercher des mots de 3 lettres, vous devez demander à votre société d'hébergement de modifier vos paramètres de texte intégral mysql. Votre hébergeur est déjà au courant, mais il s'agit de ft_min_word_len et innodb_ft_min_token_size 

Hello,

The change has been made and the server has been restarted but I still cannot search for 3 letter words.

How to do it please?

thank you so much

Have you rebuilt your search index? If not, you would need to do this from System>Search in your Admin CP
