There is a beta search here: [link] It will not search on words of 3 letters or less.

ita, is it beta 'cause you're looking for comments? Or should I hold the wishlist and just offer you praise?

Searching is the only way us thread-impaired, spoilerphobes can navigate the wild ol' interknit. Thankyou!

(edited for the auto-capitalisation of ita. I know better than to let that stand :)

It's beta because it needs to be modified not to present all the results at once, and some other stuff. Like, perhaps, searching under 4 letters.

What's the four letter issue? Server load every time it goes hunting for "the" and such?

It's a default database setting for the full-text index feature. Presumably to limit server drain, but there's no way around it without patchy code or pleas to the web hosts. Lots of pleas.

The plus side of the three-letter thing is that when I decide to do a percentage of my posts mentioning X, the count's way lower than expected.

So I don't seem quite so lame to my own ears.

Julie, you do know that we're obsessive about segregating the spoilers in their proper threads, right?

and some other stuff. Like, perhaps, searching under 4 letters

and.. reverse chronological sort? and, and.. displaying the source thread?

whaa-a-a-a-aat? sorry, it slipped out.

I meant to say, Yay ita! It's wonderous! :)

Julie, you do know that we're obsessive about segregating the spoilers in their proper threads, right?

Yep. And I *heart* the Buffista Island and all who sail upon her, for it.

ita, it was very thoughtful of you to make an option that only searches our subscribed threads. It keeps you from getting spoiled.

Actually, a pretty efficient way of searching for ita would be to search for "Krav"!

Thank you ita. For some reason I didn't think of using that to search for a person.
