Search mechanism suggestion.

NTL showed up today ........ amazing that.

Regrettably, it is difficult to point them to their past mistakes, as discussed on boards , because the forum search Barfs at words of less than 4 characters.

It may be an idea to:

1. Put an exception in the code for COMMON TLA's used on boards such as

NTL
CIE
RTE

others by admin consensus

or else

2. SQL statement thru the database renaming NTL as NTLC where cable is being discussed and NTLTV where TV is being discussed, they are separate products

IE
if

a post contains
NTL and (Television or TV or SKY or Sports or Analogue or MMDS)

replace NTL with NTLTV

(loop that to get rid of the telly ones)

then if

post contains
NTL
replace NTL with NTLC

and we can search past posts, people would then get the hint pretty fast ...esp if there were a sticky

Use a "*".

eg: NTL*


For your penance you might create a thread in NEWBIE FAQ about that. Thanks

I tried to keep it relevant so keep the sig rules thread stickied.
