    There's something wrong with the search function

    You know the search function in the bottom of the page? well, it's stupid! It can't find words that are under 4 letters long. And that is not very practical when it's on a kung fu forum where you are going to search for chinese words which tends to be small! for example: if you search for the word "hung gar" it says:" the word "gar" is under the minimum limit of 4 letters" So then, moderators, please change this!

    chen zhen:

    You are correct and it drive me nuts!

    I was too frusterated to write anything about it though.
    I see that this post has made it to the bottom of the page.


    Perhaps if we keep commenting and keep it on the top of the page, forum folks will finally fix it.

    Closed circuit to Moderators:
    If your upcoming Forum upgrade does not cover this issue perhaps you may want to adjust that before doing the upgrade?

    Can't even run a search for Tai Chi. That ain't cool.

    Just bumping up, hehe. I noticed it too, they intentionally don't let you use the little words like tai chi, dim mak, ba gau, because they don't want people to learn about the deadliest stuff,haha

    This almost disapeared!

    Dear Mr. Moderator:

    A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the search function worked fine. Now you have a new setup and it does not.

    Please fix.

    Thanks!

    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    My guess is nobody cares and it won't get fixed. Just like the ability to post images.

    I'll sign this petition. The search is p!ss!ng me off too because you have to find a way around it to get what you want. Like searching for Internal Arts instead of Tai Chi which limits the results. Most of the chinese words i know are 3 letters. Can you turn on the IMG function. I had this cool pic lined up to fit my name.
