Search Stupid

This search:

"If Star trek was like STO"

produced this stupid remark from the system:

"The search term you specified (if) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. "

Duh.

    This forums search function is fairly frustrating in many areas, but why are you posting it in general gameplay?

    I look at your problem as a new and interesting plot point. To get your search function to work better, you may have to have one of your bridge officers shimmy down a jeffries tube and find a panel that will let him/her re-arrange some sub-space transmitters. Thus allowing the search function to access the database properly.

    That will only partially solve the problem because you didn't include enough techno-babble. :)

    I posted this here because here is where this search failed (Epic)

    I'd appreciate a link to the "If Star Trek was like STO" threads.

    (since we don't have a search function for it)

    if you remove 'if' from the search it will work. it clearly states that 'if' is the problem since it is only 2 letters long. the minimum 3 letters is per word, not the whole query. the search is working fine.
