    Search term is under the minimum word lenght (4)!

    I was looking for the term 'session is invalid' on the search page, and all I get in return is the following:
    The search term you specified (is) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
    Am I missing something?

    You should search for "invalid session" (remove the "is")

      Leave out 'is' from the search.

          What is the actual purpose of restricting us from using words less than 4 characters anyway?, other than making it harder on us?

          Thanks

            Performance issues on large forums is one argument.

              Would you be willing to increase it to 5 characters? It sure would make our searches more productive and produce less errors on searching.
