Can the minimum 4 character restriction on searches be lifted? Seems like a silly and arbitrary limit. There are plenty of reasons why someone might want to search for a three letter acronym.

There's gotta be a technical reason for it, like pulling up thousands of posts by searching the word and or the or even worse, LE. What are you searching for anyway? Maybe I can help. Pm me.

 
This caught my eye because I use to be quite involved in search algos, SOUNDEX & much more. Loved it!

In the Google search box, you can use Advanced Operators to searh for, say 3 letter terms on a site:

site:drugbuyersguide.com +"OTC"

I used an innocuous term I had posted recently for this example, but I guess it wasn't indexed yet.

For that matter, I question why ALL our forum posts are indexed in the SEs.

======

Don't worry about data mining & the Wordtrackers -- There are a billion Google queries a day.

======

The 4 char forum query dates to when server bandwidth was at a premium, AFAIK.

And no, it's not meant to thwart 'LE'....

  1. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z and yes , there are already indole alkoloids with tweaked scaffolding ready to take the place of 7/mgm, all with mitragynine as their parent alkoloid. The game of wack a mole starts the minute 7 is officially banned. Its 2013 K2 all over
  2. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan Also, it’s just a matter of time before another alternative pops up on the market anyway….
  3. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan I couldn’t agree more, bro. It’s fucked up. I recognize prices will rise, but it will always be available…. Stock up now while you can at least if you’re preferred read is opiates. As an ex-fentanyl addict I won’t ever touch any of that shit again. I remember when I started to see 7oh pop up, I knew it was going to end like this but I can understand getting rid of 7oh/mgm-15/16. With that being said, they should leave plain leaf alone!
  4. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z oh trust, i know that, im helping a pretty big vendor transition, to here and dnm , but prices are going to rise bc of risk. But availability is only part of this whole kratom alks situation. We have a serious problem with society. Last year alcohol killed 178,000 people, last year all other drugs combined killed 69,973 Out of those 38,084 were from opiate/opioids and out of those 0 were killed by 7oh. With these numbers we can see the problem with banning 7oh
  5. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Hell i remember when getting 25g of aphip was like 200$ or so
  6. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Dude wants $150 for 5g... I told him nahh doggy cmon.
  7. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Man im tryin to get this one kat to come off that apvp for 75$
  8. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Cant wait to get the apvp in
  9. token @ token: Afternoon everyone! Hope their day or night has been good!
  10. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: We need to takj bro
  11. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: @RiftChems Hey man PM me
  12. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: why does tails always act stupid at stupid times
  13. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 @RiftChems @moai Just because they’re “banning/scheduling” something, doesn’t mean it’s not gonna be available. If you know where to look, it won’t be a problem.
  14. T @ theweedman: hellooo everyone! hola! salut!
  15. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Hello yall
  16. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: back stvthgd
  17. Acidwizard @ Acidwizard: Terrific Tuesday Everyone!
  18. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Happy Monday!
  19. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: Set a reasonable limit. Hell fucking make it like buying cold medicine where they swipe your id and you can't get a bunch. But we know this isn't about logic or public safety. It's about money and control.
  20. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: AKA are such a bunch of fucking capitalist traitors. The liquor lobby has a lot of money in this as well.
