Possible to have search index 1 character for numbers only?

[solidsteak]

So my product search seems to work best when the minimum word length is at least 2 characters. However, this creates a problem in that single digit numbers are not searched correctly. Its quite embarrassing when people search 5 inch discs and it seems everything but 5" shows up first.

 

I really wouldn't even need to use all 10 digits. Looking at the db, it seems finding where the index values are created and stored in the db would be the best bet.

Hello, solidsteak.

 

Did you try to set the minimum word lenght to 1 on search and index page?

I just want to say that starts searching from 1 digit will kill Your mysql server performance.

Like I said, my search queries are the most accurate when the length is at least 2 characters. The only exception is single digit numbers are not indexed, and that is a problem.
