Hi Moderators. Can the search parameters be changed so that a three letter word or really three digits is searchable? I was in the JD forum and tried searching for posts on the model 216 and the search parameter is too short or too common. Lots of models were three digits. Cub, JD, Bolens, Case and probably others. It would make it easier finding out about a specific model. Thanks for your time.

i kept it at 4 to keep the database size low.

When using the vBulletin default search, this option limits the size of indexed words. The smaller this number is, the larger your search index, and conversely your database is going to be.

i will look into any issues in decreasing the search to 3

I don't want to cause problems for a great site. There are just so many 3 digit tractor models, at least in garden tractors.
