Hey, I don't know if it's just me, but when I go to search hackforums a lot of the time the thing I'm looking for is a 3 character word.

There has been countless times it hasn't allowed me to search due to it being less then 4 characters.

Is this just me or have other people experienced it also?

Edit: Also having to wait 25 seconds per search? "Sorry, but you can only perform one search every 25 seconds" what's the point of that?

I experience this too, also words with spaces too somehow!

3 is a good number.

I agree. Not allowing three characters aside from having potentially minor performance issues when running a query like that is simply beyond me.

It has always annoyed me, and I'm sure it also annoys other users.
They should definitely change that.

Kind Regards,

yes please change this l0l this has happened to me at least 40 times l0l :P and the time limit between searches!

Yeah this actually happens to me from time to time, would be nice to see this implemented

like seaching for like VPN, .Net, BTC, web and lot, lot more very annoying.

Agree with 3 although a lot of social media sites have acronyms like fb and ig. 3 would work though

I completely support this, some of the displayed info isn't correct either.

I was looking for brendan's spotify shop the other day and it didn't even show his thread on there, yet it's in the title and post.

I don't see any issue with this. 4 characters are just fine.

I don't see any issue with this. 4 characters are just fine.

So you have never encountered this or you just blatantly stating 4 characters is fine. You probably don't even use the search feature.

I agree with this and especially with MrMonkeyDeamond.

[Mung]

I agree with this. It just makes sense. A lot of searches the can possibly be done to save time are 3 characters long.

[ChromeHD]

Completely off topic but but lol look at the double posts and I agree with op should be lowered to 3

[Sagax]

I agree.
I search for words like Bot and RAT but it blocks me.
I think it should be less search cooldown for upgraded members IMO.
