    please get rid of this limit

    sometimes when I search up the title of my thread, the search displays the message which is the title of this thread. of course there are alternatives for doing this but is a little inconvenient overall.

    Honestly I will have to say agree for now unless someone makes a good point. You should be able to search a thread even if its long or short.

    There are so many threads out there you have to be somewhat specific for it to be able to result something from your search

    Neutral for now

    Neutral,

    If we do that It could show up so many results that you can't find what your looking for.

    I'm not sure this can be changed. It is the function of the forums software

    I don't think there's anything that can be done about this? I'm pretty sure it's just a feature of the xen-foro forums that you can't change.

    Neutral. I can see why it would cause frustration, but as monster said, there are literally thousands of threads on forums and there is a good chance whatever you're typing may not show up because there might be similar threads. Since forums cannot determine which thread needs to pull up, you would have to type in more words for forums to get the thread with the exact words used.

    On the contrary, I can see this as annoying. I've had to find a few threads which forums couldn't find which pisses me off. So I had to manually go through the past threads to find it..very tedious if you ask me

    Just today I tried looking up something with "How to" in the title, and guess what, both those words were too short for the filter so I ended up with countless unrelated threads to sift through.
