Search feature not working?

joannie · March 2010

Hey Andrew. Cathyb12 had posted a question in another section about PTO. I know we have discussed PTO many times on the forum. I did a regular search and and advance search, but no results were returned, not even Cathy's post from today. I used PTO as my search word. Can you check this out for us.?:help:

The system search currently does not search for words of less 4 letters. Searching for "paid time" will yield results. It's possible to adjust that down to 3, but, the reason it defaults to 4 is because there are many 3 letter words that appear so often they possibly would make the search results meaningless. On the other hand it may be that for this subject matter 3 is necessary.

It is possible to match on the complete phrase "paid time off" by placing double quotes around it.

With Joannie and Nae around, I'd be more worried about the search results from four letter words!

You mean words like jerk, bore, nerd, dork, etc? ::pb&J::
