I went to search to search for what this vip thing is here now, since I haven’t bothered with the forums since 2007, but it won’t allow me to search for vip since it is a 3 letter word.
Add to that this latest 1.24 update ignored a bunch of my settings which I had to go reconfigure, and now I saw 3 adds pop up that we never had before.
Searching for three letters returns many, many many irrelevant results. The search engine isn’t sophisticated, it doesn’t search for whole-words-only and can’t be told to. So any word that happens to have that three-letter sequence in it is returned as a hit. This is a common limitation of simpler search engines.
The forum software wasn’t written by BitComet, it’s purchased from a third party, so BitComet modifying the search engine isn’t really a possibility.
This isn’t the forum for issues with the bittorrent client.
