in reply to (tye)Re: Super Search vs Search query limits
in thread Super Search vs Search query limits

interestingly then, and apparently contrary to (tye)Re: Searching and Typing the regular search returns results for some two letter words such as "ip" and "an", but not "tcp".
Any explanations?
cheers

    The simple search doesn't use "full text search" to find exact title matches. There are nodes with "tcp" in their title but no nodes titled just "tcp". So, yes, 3-and-fewer-letter words are not ignored if one or more exact title matches exist.
