Try searching for "IRC tutorial"
or "GSM handset"
or "LAN card"
or "NIC problems"
"TCP SP2 patch" - my favourite.

get my drift?
Can't u do something about it?
 
yeah....... I getcha......

Interesting........ I never noticed it......... not that I ever searched for anything though..........
 
its disabled....3 words or less isnt searched..

its obvious... if anyone searches for "if" "the"....etc...it'll be a huuge load on the server...
 
3 letter words can't be allowed for obvious reasons and which sunny rightly pointed out.
it places enormous load on server apart from returning huge amout of entries.

As far as specific keywords like LAN etc go, i can overide the results for them
gimme a list of frequently used 3 letter searches and it will be done.

This is becoming a real huge list by itself ;)
In that case, Supernova wouldnt it be better if you filter out common 3-letter words like : the, his, her, etc etc

I agree ... even google uses that method. Else there would always be the odd X11, GCC, DLL etc left :)
