Hello Petr,

I have set the "Search Index Minimum Word Length" to three. However, the smaller this number is, the larger our search index, and conversely our database is going to be. So I may have to reset this number if the database is going to be too large. Also, the minimum word length may well have to be changed at the server level. The software is currency rebuilding the search index so it will be a while before the results can be found. Let's see if this resets brings us what we are expecting from it.

Also, as Jordan pointed out, one can use Google to search for content on MLU very well. If you add site:mapleleafup.net to the search bar it will only search for results on the mapleleafup.net domain.

HTH,
Hanno
