robert77833 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Hey, Not sure if this has been suggested before but some of the tags on this website such as Het, Inc, M/F, PWP, Bi etc are less than the 4 character search limit so it would be good if either all tags were expanded in order to be searchable, or if the search minimum characters was reduced to 3 from 4. It would help out because for example I was searching for Harry/Lily fics earlier and http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600016138 is unfindable atm because all you'd have to go on is "Harry", while I'm pretty sure if I could search Harry Inc it wouldn't be hard to find.

BronxWench Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Hi, This is something that's been brought up, and we'll be considering this as part of the code rewrite project that's underway. One thing that you can do at the moment to search the shorter tags is to enclose them in quotation marks. "Inc" will yield search results while Inc will be considered invalid. I hope this helps!

robert77833 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 Oh it turns out that you can't search using the tags at all! That's really stupid, I have to say Quote
BronxWench Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Actually, you can. Tags are part of the story summary. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 The tags HAVE to be as short as they are to fit in the summary. As Bronx said, enclose in quotes, and search summary by tag for the short ones. Quote
robert77833 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 If you search "Inc" you get no results, and if you search +harry +"inc" a lot of results don't have the inc, so I'm pretty sure they aren't being searched. Quote
