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:

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.
