Forums Suggestion!

Not sure where else to post this; feel free to move it if need be.

I often find myself searching the forums for specific threads and being unable to do so easily just because some titles include common words. For instance, just today I was attempting to search 'player status' so that I can update, but because both the words 'player' and 'status' are common words, I got a "Kiss Off" response.

Is there any way that the "common word filter" could be removed from the forums?

Thanks!

Good idea - I've had a go at disabling this - did it work?

No sir, not yet:
Information

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: status player.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

Ok, I've 'requested' that the search indices be re-built - possibly with this feature turned off. It might take a couple of hours it reckons, but it might be gone after that!

Whatever you just did fixed it. I could have sworn the thread name was 'player status' but when I search that nothing comes up. Even just searching 'player' only brings up 2 threads.
