Code: Select all
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: install.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.
That's usually due to a forum mechanism that detects if a search word is too common, ie 'this' or 'for' or 'but'.
That mechanism is usually set to 5%, meaning that if the search word is present in at least 5% of the posts it stops the database query and prints out the above message.
5% is nice for a huge database but is bad for small forum databases like our's.
Could you please raise that figure to something like 15-20%, please? It will still keep popping up once in a while but as it stands right now the search is almost unusable.
Here's a topic on how to tune the feature.
