Make forum search accept common words

Post by cbgoodbuddy »

I'm posting here because there doesn't appear to be a topic area dedicated to the forum system itself.

The forums are not indexed by Google, so it makes it even more important to have a good search function.
My wish: Could you please review your forbidden search terms and allow more terms?

If I search for "usb" or "power" those search terms are disabled because the words are too common. Even searching for those two words together is forbidden. It may be true that by themselves USB and "power" are common words, but used together those words are less common. If I want to search for an even more specific query, "usb power wifi", then the search fails for the same reason.

I think forbidden words should be common words in the language not related to Fit-PC, but "usb" "wifi" "power" "disk" "ssd" and so on, are all perhaps common to forum posts, but also definitely related to Fit-PC, and should be allowed.

Thanks,
Craig

Hello Craig

Thank you for bringing this issue up to the desk. You are absolutely right, the list should be edited.. I will maintain the common world list.
