Forum Search: STF

I have tried to use forum search to find posts with STF as a keyword. I got the following error "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Any ideas?

STF stands for Statesman Task force, If thats even what you were asking which I'm not sure cause your OP was alittle unclear.

Haha,

I know what STF stands for. I was trying to use search to pull posts that have STF in it. It gave me empty result with "No match" error.

Were you doing a general search, or a Tag search? Different parts of the search form.

And if it's a Tag search, there MIGHT be no posts tagged that.

The search term is too short, so it won't return any hits. A limitation like that kind of sucks for MMORPGs where acronyms are plentiful.

It was general search, and it worked just fine for LGTF but not for STF

Had forgotton about this.

Try serachin instead for "StatesTF" or "StatesmanTF" if using the general search line.

Also try doing a tag search for STF. Tags, IIRC, don't have the "min word length" bit.

I guess you are right. It looks like minimum keyword length is 4, because it worked for LGTF, but not for STF and ITF

Also sucks on websites where you may be searching for the movie titled "Up", or another title of similar length.

If that's the case though, it should tell you that the search term is too short, not return a "No matches" result. That is misleading, and I'm not sure I've ever seen a forum search engine that worked like that...

Unless, of course, it works as Zombie says. Then it is a No matches result.
