Search function 'bug' - ejshadow - Nov 28, 2017
I don't know if this is normal or not but thought I should try and put it here.Hope this helps Omni and/or mods to optimize this function
When searching for the term "android" I get this response
Quote:One or more of your search terms were shorter than the minimum length. The minimum search term length is 5 characters.
If you're trying to search for an entire phrase, enclose it within double quotes. For example "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
Clearly android is longer than 5 chars.
The same has happened with other terms for the past 2 months (which I don't remember now unfortunately)
Thank you!

The search function is currently not working properly. Please be patient, Omni is aware of it. 😉

I don't like this generally, sometimes I need to search words less then 5 character. Why there is such restriction

Because if you want to search for let's say... "ios" you will also get results like "bios" which has nothing to do with what you searched for!
