In my new Drupal installation I get a GD error. I would like to search this site for a solution but I can't because the search engine ignores words shorter than 3 letters. Why is that? Isn't it better to have a list of common words that should be ignored? Not all short words are meaningless in a search query, I think.

Regards,

Frans

GD image will give you a more specific search if you want to stay within the drupal site. Using site in google is also a very good way.

The word gd was not included because it is too short.

We used to have a noise words feature, but few people actually used it. Instead, a relative word-ranking was implemented which automatically gives noise words less weight.

However, to keep the search index small, words shorter than 3 letters are automatically skipped.
