Not digging the 3.2 search feature

18 July 2011 - 06:16 AM

I'm not sure if this is a beta thing but I find the 3.2 search (on this site in particular) to be very unfriendly. Here are a couple of examples of what I mean:

"logging in"

Says invalid query because on of the words is < 3 chars. I don't think the user should have to know that, can the software not simply ignore or remove short words? Not allowing the use of short words, even if they aren't used as search keywords, makes it impossible to form natural questions:

What is a ...
How do I ...
Where is ...
How do ...

Not good IMHO.

"IE javascript error"

Says javascript is invalid term AND that there is a short word. How do you search for something related to javascript without saying "javascript"? Thank god I don't run a web design forum. There needs to be a better way to prevent xss issues that don't involve omitting "javascript" from the range of possible keywords.

I hope this feedback is helpful.

Where are the resources in the new layout?

Looking for the developer docs. Where did they go?

Thanks!
