I tried to search for "mkv" then "matroskva" with no results...There must be a new "trick" to this bulletin software.
(I hate it by the way...But I don't have to support it either...I hate change for what appears to be for changes sake and no other really compelling reason...)

Hmmm...I guess the term "MKV" doesn't exist in this forum? I can't believe it. I did more generic searches for other terms and they did work...So not this bulletin software but something odd about the forum. I know "MKV" *must* exist in the old posts.

it's generally a good idea to use the correct searchword, in your case:
matroska
we did this forum change to improve the forum experience for everyone

its mysql, minimum search term for fulltext is set to 4 on the x-s server... nothing we can do about it, unless we ask them to drop it down to 2, that would fix our mediawiki problems too

you can always try mkv* as your search string. Just use * to pad.

I've had this happen several times I'll do a search and the results come up. I clk on any of the results and get the following error:
"Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forum/showthread.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
It does not happen every time, but something server side is causing it. Also it seems like your search is severly limited as I've searched for things like "h.264" something I would expect to find numerous results on and it doesn't find anything at all. I'm guessing you have the search limited to a minimum number of charactors, but thats just a guess.
The point being: 'Look up things before you post', then using a search that doesn't work well or at all is certainly not ideal.

Minimum search length I believe is 3 characters, though I just searched for "te**" and it let that through (though "t***" did not).
H.264 doesn't return any results, as you suggest. Will let our webadmin know and there may be something that can be done.

Minimum search length is actually 4 characters, and a search work can not contain a "." or a "-"

its the x-s mysql server, as we are using full text search (only way it can be done really on a server being used so much) the minimum character length is set by the mysql server its self, and is 4 characters. the only way to change it is to get the x-s admin to reduce the minimum full text search length to 2 characters. which is posible via the mysql config or any admin app.
3 letter searches such as mp3 and ogg work
