View Full Version : Using 3 letter words with the forum search engine!

Okay, so I know that a lot of you may be aware of the frustrations of the number of various ABJD terms (and names) that are sadly 3 or less letters in length and thusly are not capable of being searched on many forums.

Well the good news is: that doesn't apply here! :D

The bad news is: we have to add any 3 letter (or less) words to a specific word list so that the forum knows to include them in searches.

This is where you come in! We've compiled a basic list of all the terms we could think of it but it's probably far, faaar from complete -- there's so many dolls, terms, and other things constantly popping up that it can be quite difficult to keep up with!

Here is our current 3 letter (and less) word list:
4D AA AES AGA Ami An Ani Anu AR Ari Aru Ash AUD Aya B-01 B-02 B-03 B-04 B-05 B-06 B-07 B-08 B&G BC Bee B-el BF Bin boy cap cat cm CH Chi Cue Chu CP Cyn Dal D1 D-1 DD1 DD2 Del DES Dit DIM DoC DoI DoD DoT dye DZ E-01 E-02 E-03 E-04 E-05 E-06 E-07 E-08 E-an ear El elf Eien ema EMS Enn eye F-1 F-01 F01 F-2 F-02 F02 F-3 F-03 F03 F-04 F-4 F04 F-5 F-05 F05 F-6 F-06 F06 F-7 F-07 F07 F-8 F-08 F08 F-9 F-09 F09 F10 F-10 F11 F-11 F12 F-12 F13 F-13 F14 F-14 F15 F-15 F16 F-16 F17 F-17 F18 F-18 F19 F-19 F20 F-20 F21 F-21 F22 F-22 F23 F-23 F24 F-24 F25 F-25 F26 F-26 F27 F-27 F28 F-28 F29 F-29 F30 F-30 F31 F-31 F32 F-32 F33 F-33 F34 F-34 F35 F-35 F36 F-36 FAQ faq FCS fee Fée fer FO-01 FO-02 FO-03 fur Fam Fin GE-1 GE-2 GE-3 GE-4 GE-5 GE-6 GE-7 GE-8 GE-9 GE-10 GE-11 GE-12 GE-13 GE-14 GE-15 GE-16 GE-17 GE-18 GE-19 GE-20 GE-21 GE-22 GE-23 GE-24 GE-25 GE-26 GE-27 Gem Gun H-01 H-02 H-03 H-04 H-05 H-06 H-07 H-08 H-09 H-10 H-11 HDE HDL Han Ho Hoo Hye Ian Ida I-ra Iru Iz Jee Jin Joy Jun Jr Jr. Kai KD Ken kid Kun Ksy L-01 L-02 L-03 L-bi LD Lea LF Lu-wen Liz Lin LSG Lyn Mai May MB MD Min Mio Mir Miu MNF mod MR MSC MSD Myu Nik NMK OB OD OFY old Osu pig PoJ Pon Ray Re Re-che Red Rei Ren Ri Ria Rio Ryo Ryu RIT RML Ru Roy SA Sch SD10 SD13 SD16 SD17 SDC SDF Sei Sen Sha Shall Sho Si Sia Shy Sky Soo SwD Syo Tae Tan TF Too U UFK Van Vin wig Wi Wu Yam Yuu Yuh Y!J YJA Y!JA Yen Yoi YoSD Yo-SD Zen Zii


If you know of a term that's not on this list but that you think should be added so it can be searchable, please post it here! We'll update the list as often as we can so that you can search for terms to your heart's content.

In addition, please be aware of our new Tags function (http://www.abjds.com/forum/tags/), which uses tags much like livejournal and other blogging systems. Using the tags function you can search for many terms no matter how long or short they are! So please be sure to tag your own posts, and then use the tags to search for other posts! :)

And as an additional note.. for any newly added terms, the forum won't know to add old posts that already contain these words unless they are edited after they've been added to the list. If you happen to have posts prior to the terms being added to the search list that have these terms and want them to turn up in search, simply edit them and resave them. Even if all you do is add a space to the post, that'll be enough for the forum to re-process it. :D

That's the best thing ever!

Perhaps "CP" should be added? It's the only thing I might search for that's not already included.

Ta Lizzard! I'll make a note and get it added. :)

Ta Lizzard! I'll make a note and get it added. :)

Wow, I haven't heard "ta" since I lived overseas. Flashback!

Glad to be of service. :nod

The only other thing I can think of is Rei for Rei Tenshi (I see Sei up there already)

CP and Rei have been added to the search engine!

This is great! Maybe you could add "lf" (Little Fair)?

If (The CP Girl)
E-an
I-ra
Lu-wen
MD (Migidoll)
Ryu
SDF (Senior Delf)

Um..... all I can think of for now.

Red for Elfdoll Red? :)

Kyrie Arashi
09-11-2007, 05:49 PM
DZ
LD (LatiDoll, especially since most of the big boys only have 1 letter names)
OD (orient doll)
KD (kid delf)
AA (abio angel)
OB (obitsu)
SwD ( sweet dreams)

...basically any company's two or three letter shortening, since most people don't type out the name.

Hmmm...wouldn't a search for IF cause problems? You know cause it's a real word. Maybe tags might be better for searching for IF related things? Don't know....

Karhys
09-11-2007, 07:53 PM
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I've added them all to the list so that they'll be searchable, with the exception of 'If' -- I'm afraid that zalem is right, and this is such a common word that adding it to the search functionality would really tax our server too much. :oops Please use the tags function instead if you have this girl or want to search for her!

Just as an additional note.. for the newly added terms, the forum won't know to add old posts that already contain these words unless they are edited after they've been added to the list. If you happen to have posts prior to this that have these terms and want them to turn up in search, simply edit them and resave them. Even if all you do is add a space to the post, that'll be enough for the forum to re-process it. :D

(And this is why we wanted to get as many of these as possible added early on, before there are too many posts for them! ;))

one-letter wonders:
-M (like the latidoll doll)
-K (like both the latidoll and elfdoll dolls)
-L (latidoll again)

How about Kawainino Iz?

ChocoMeijin

What about 'fer' as in the Dollheart dresses (i.e. Mint fer)

Perhaps B&G?

Karhys
10-16-2007, 04:07 PM
Thanks guys! I have added all of these, with the exception of M, K and L, as single letter searches I'm afraid would be really taxing on the server. :( Sorry about that! Please keep the suggestions coming tho!

Some additions that I didn't see listed: Yuu/Yuh, Lin, Van, Ho ^^

Thanks so much Nena! Added. :D

'miu' (from migidoll)

'ear' (for "ear mod"/"ear type" sort of searches)

Don't know if it's too obscure, but I was just looking for more pics of Alice Cherry Blossom and was thinking it would be nice if we could search for 'pig'...

'cat' for all the kitty dolls out there might be convenient too, except lots of people tend to mention their cats in posts so maybe not... :oops

And could we add FCS part searches? 'GE-1' through 'GE-9', 'H-01' through 'H-09', 'B-01' through 'B-09' and so on. I'm just looking at Creating Dreams--you wrote it, so you know better than I... :lol

(This is like a game--trying to remember all those millions of times I couldn't search for things I wanted to... :D)

Karhys
11-03-2007, 02:52 PM
Ahh, thank you so much! I've added the suggestions (miu, pig, cat, ear) and you're totally right about the FCS stuff -- so I've added GE-01 to GE-27, B-01 to B-08, E-01 to E-08, H-01 to H-11, L-01 to L-03 and FO-01 to FO-03. I hope it helps. :D I also added F-35 and F-36 as I totally forgot to add them when they came out. :oops

Thanks for the suggestions -- I totally know what you mean about trying to remember what you've searched for! And there's always someone else who remembers something you've forgotten. (Which is why this thread is so invaluable to us!)

Would it be possible to get "gun" and "vin" added for those looking up Bambicrony molds? :)

FunnyLori

Bambicrony also has a new mold coming out, elf Shy.

Karhys
12-11-2007, 09:13 AM
All 3 names have been added, thanks guys! :D

annina

that's really nice!

both the dolls is have are made of three letter words and less:

To You = Limhwa To You (27cm)
Min Del Re = Elfdoll Min Del Re (14cm)

i saw that you already have "min" and "re" in your list, so could you add the following:

To, You, Del

thanks that will be great :)

Karhys
12-16-2007, 10:38 PM
Thanks for the suggestions! I've added Del, however unfortunately both To and You are such common words that if I add them it will really tax the server load. :( I'm sorry about that! I know it's frustrating. :oops

annina
12-17-2007, 04:03 AM
ah i see, thanks anyway Karhys!
i'll just go on doing as i do on DoA then, writing her name as ToYou :)

Karhys
12-18-2007, 07:09 AM
Hi Annina! No problem, and I do apologise for not being able to be more helpful about it. :oops

I do suggest however that you utilize our tags system (http://www.abjds.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75) with her name as well as doing what you are doing. :) You can enter multiple words for a single tag, so you can enter "To You" without the space for the tags. Then anyone who is looking through the tags can find her that way! I really like the tags and in some instances they can be more useful than the search system! :D

annina
12-27-2007, 06:31 AM
oh, thanks for reminding me, i had forgotten the tags again! :sweat
going back to add tags to some posts.. :)
they will indeed be a helpful little tool, if we use them! ;)

ah :doh somehow i thought we can add tags to posts, but ofcourse it's only threads.

What about MB for MistyBlue Bambicrony?

FunnyLori
12-30-2007, 08:03 AM
If you add MB, then you also have to add MR and LSG for Misty Rose and Light Slate Grey. I have all three colors, and I try to add those to my tags every time I post.

Karhys
01-10-2008, 04:59 PM
Thanks guys! (And sorry for the delay!) I've added MB, MR, and LSG. :D

Could we add "Fin" and "Ida" for the Domuya Perennial sculpts by those names? For that matter, what about "D-1" or "D1", which I've seen sometimes to refer to Domuya O.N.E? (I know those are more of a stretch though).

Mei for the bobobie mei? I've been hunting for info on her since I ordered her on the 20th, and have been having very little luck getting the info I need! Even on the DOA thread specifically about her...

Trisana
06-14-2009, 07:42 PM
I was trying to search for Abio Angel San Yi, and neither san nor yi are allowed...perhaps any of the numbers that are three letters or less should be included?
