Bug in search engine, John

[filburt1]

When you search for something like Always On Top (using the engine at http://forums.vb-world.net/search.php?s=), it gawks at the On. Putting the whole thing in quotes does not help.

It does this so that people don't search for a bunch of words that are less than 3 characters. It's annoying, but I've gotten used to it. Searches like this put a strain on the server, and he did that when the server couldn't handle solitaire, let alone somthing like a 10,000+user forum. Just search for Always Top, or somthing to that effect.

I would like to report a different error. The search engine on the vbworld site doesn't work. At least it didn't earlier. What's wrong with it?

I know, but it shouldn't hurl on "Always on top", but it should for something like "vb" or "on". Instead of checking the length of each word, it should check the length of the whole search query.

Or... It should do what other major search engines do and ignore small words like that completely. Unless it's all in "quotes", then it should be searched for.

And it still gives that error if I put it in quotes. You can search also through:
