Searching Threads at DNF

[Jagusa]

Did something about the search capabilities change within the last few weeks? I have had great difficulty searching threads lately.

For example, right now, there's an appraisal request by another user for map.sc. In the past, I would be able to go the "Search" between the "FAQ" and "Quicklinks" pulldowns, and type in a term (in this case: "map.sc", with the "Show Threads" tab selected), click the GO button, and a list of threads would appear. Now, it cannot find the threads any more.

So, how do I search here at dnf?

also searching for a specific tld like I used to do quite often ".ca" doesn't work. I assumed you switch to full text searching which by default need >= 4 characters

All fixed now, the MySQL setting ft_min_word_len needed a touch up.

still doesn't work for me searching for ".ca" or ".com", I think you need to rebuild the index for it to take effect.

Agreed, a lot of trouble searching up old threads..
