I was wondering if there is any way to change the time limit in between searches and get rid of the limit to needing the words needing to be over 2 characters. I noticed that here I can search with the 2 letter words (how to limit search time) and got no message to the limit of word characters....that is what I want.
Also to be able to do a search right after getting no results not needing to wait again...impatient members...LOL

Or how to tell my members that when they search it need not be exact wording....wouldln't this cause the page to shoot out ALL semi matching posts?

Hello there.

Take a look at Search - settings in admin panel:
https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.0:Search_(admin)

Not really sure what you're trying to achieve with the number of characters in search, I hope not to search a one character or something like that :)
Anyway, maybe this mod may help you:

I think going to search only 2 characters is impossible on smf and that can be a problem in specific case. I had a problem months ago while searching support topic for some mod, can try to dig to find that mod in question but mod which name starting with only 2 characters is not possible to find except manually.

I will take a peek at the admin section for a setting but yes there are times when a 1 character search is needed to be done. The mod looks promising thanks

Your first link is a page with no text just the menu.

Hey there are words now...thanks LOL all these years and I never saw that area in admin......go figure. I was able to set the time in between searches there but not for letting it search for text less than 2 characters so maybe that mod will help.
