    Resolved [RESOLVED] Another search problem? - No!

    Some words are obviously too long to be searched for, e.g. SetLayeredWindowAttributes.

    If you attempt a wildcard search on SetLayered* then it only seems to find some of the matches - in particular none from the CodeBank (which definitely has some) and none from the API forum (which I would assume has some).

    Any particular reason for this inconsistancy?

    Re: Another search problem?

    The search index only contains words from 2 to 25 characters. If a word is bigger than 25 characters long, it will not be included in the search index and will therefore not be found in any searches.

    Re: Another search problem?

    yeah - but it was throwing up some results - I now realise that was because the posts also contained things that matched SetLayered*, but occurances of SetLayeredWindowAttributes were also being highlighted - which was what was confusing me.

    Just a dense moment by me!
