Hey guys,
I have a requirement to meet as part of a project that the user must be able to search a product by title, description and product_number. I notice EE doesn’t allow search strings below 3 characters which is grand, and I also know you can tinker around with stopwords.php to help allow characters.
Is there any way I can allow a search for numbers? The largest number won’t even hit 3 digits.
Many thanks,
Jordan

No worries chaps. I just brought down the character limit in the mod.search.php file (near the top) to 1 character.
Then I made sure that in my simple search form that I include the parameter “where=‘word’” exists so that it doesn’t return items containing the number I’m looking for as well as the number itself - eg: a search for “1” returning “1, 11, 12, 13,...” etc.
