Good morning! We had a report that a user searched for “go” and could not find anything. Or rather, that the search did not work.

Now, I’m used to forums with a 3 character minimum for search; but maybe not everyone is. I suspect that is what is going on here; however, as part of the bigger picture, I’d like to request some error reporting when the search is not going to function. Right now on these forums try searching for “go” - nothing at all happens. It’d be more user friendly if the search reported why that was (not) happening.

In fact, I’m only guessing at the “why” here. A UI element that does not respond in any way is a wee bit confusing. 🙂
