Description

The Manticore server doesn't find words of length 2, when used by Tiki. It looks very much like only words of length 3 (or even 4) are indexed.

This depends on the configuration used when the tables are created inside of Manticore. It looks like Tiki specifies the "min_word_len" setting to be 3 (or even 4) when creating the "tiki_main_..." table inside Manticore. The SQL command in question is "CREATE TABLE tiki_main_... (...) min_word_len='3';"

I've searched the Tiki settings in the "Search" Control panel and couldn't find a setting for the minimum word length of Manticore.

The minimum can't be configured in manticore.conf, because it is set (so it seems) at table creation time, which is the time when Tiki rebuilds the search index.

This isn't about stopwords. I've tried with 2-letter-word which aren't.

When performing a search which only includes one 2-letter-word, I get the following error message:

  • Malformed search query: SQLSTATE42000: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 table tiki_main_69a052d856213: P08: syntax error, unexpected ')' near ' ) | (@title )'
