2/3 letter term suggestion list

[Ted S]

Since our server migration and upgrade we have changed our indexing rules to skip all words 3 characters or shorter. If there is a 3 or 2 letter search term you feel should be indexed please post it here so we can add it to the settings.

Please note, only threads that are posted two forum the time we add the term and on will show up in search results.

M1 - Mares wrist computer. There are others, but I remember my frustration trying to find information on that.

I would also add some of the more common regulator brands - ATX, from Apeks... the Z1, B1 whatever's from Atomic...MK2, etc.

The only one I've tried lately is SPG

Can't you just reindex the whole DB once you come up with your wordlist? Certainly there are many words worth indexing like.....

GUE
DIR
SSI
TDI
SDI

Perhaps the whole rule should be changed from 4 to 3 characters? Its important to consider the overall performance increase, not just the cost of the index.

Sac
Scr
Ccr
Ppo

A 3 character index takes about 20 hours to rebuild given words like but, and, the, his, her, etc... a 4 character index still takes a good 10 hour. It's far better for preformance to simply add the terms we need to the database and let the site index those on it's own.
