keyword search character limit to 3?

Hello Flynax developers,

It seems that keyword search doesn't work with words less than 3 characters. So if i search "hi", it wont work. Is there anyway that I can make keyword search work with 2 character words or even 1 character?

Thank you

Hi Wei Hong,

You can change it in the /includes/classes/rlSearch.class.php -> keywordSearch() function.

Open file and find following rows (~530-534)

PHP Code:

---

Only registered members can view the code.

and change count of symbols as you want, for ex.:

PHP Code:

Hello Wei,

You can change it yourself through ftp:

ftp://includes>>classes>>rlSearch.class.php

find method: keywordSearch and line:

PHP Code:

---

Only registered members can view the code.

and change 4 to 2 but not recommended because it will load server if you have many listings.

Thanks Curtis and Viktor for both advice and solution. I will test it out and decide.
