Hello:
I would like to know if there is the possibilitiy of searching more than 3 characters on a search.
For exemple: I am searching "ONU" (or "UN", in english). Even if I try ONU*, *ONU*... there are no entries.

Thank you,

Daniel

Hi!

For MySQL to allow searching for words with less than 3 characters (the wildcard does NOT count as a character) you must change the daemon configuration:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/ ... uning.html

S9y doesn't currently support other custom-coded fulltext search mechanisms, so for the time being you're stuck with that limitation, I'm sorry.

Thank you very much!
