Full Discussion: Updated Forum Search Index Min Word Length to 2 Chars and Added Quick Search Bar

Updated Forum Search Index Min Word Length to 2 Chars and Added Quick Search Bar
Today I changed the forum mysql database to permit 2 letter searches:

Code:
[mysqld]
ft_min_word_len=2

I rebuilt the mysql search indexes as well.

Then, I added a "quick search bar" at the top of each page.

I have tested this and two letter searches are working; but it's not perfect, because special characters like dashes seem to not count toward the word length.

This means, for example, these searches work:

Code:
grep -vi
ps -ef

However, these searches fail:

Code:
grep -v
grep -i
netstat -a

If anyone is an expert in MySQL and knows how to get around this limitation without setting the min word length to one, please let me know. I'm not inclined to set the fulltext search index to a minimum word length of one.

Cheers.

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
