rather, it would be great if MySQL 5.1 was more common, because then it (forums that allow regex search) would at least be feasible.
that’s because the minimum length for any individual search term is 4 characters.
so when we talk about sixtyfour bits, we should always say 64bit, not 64 bit or 64-bit ^^
Oh shit … yah eh? … I completely overlooked the fact that one doesn’t want to be loading every post to regex it.
Too much perl hacking for me. facepalm
Johann beat me to it by mentioning the 4-character limit on search keywords.
Quite often you can work around this by utilising a wildcard in your search query.
For example: 64*
This will actually turn up quite a lot of results.
