Looking back thru your various posts… I came across one asking about a notice you received when upgrading basically stating that the table indices do not support FULLTEXT. For a refresher here’s the thread:
http://connections-pro.com/support/topic/8-2-1-database-upgrade-error/
Now how does this relate to this issue you might ask…
The fallback search that Connections performs, there is a minimum character requirement. This is not imposed by Connections. It is imposed by the db and how the web hosts configured it. Most hosts set this minimum to 3 characters, but a few set this as 4. Basically this means any searches equal to or less will not be search for by the db.
You can test if this is the case by adding just one more character to the name. My guess it’ll be returned as a search result. If that is the case there’s it is not a bug and there is nothing I can do about this minimum character requirement, sorry.
As a possible work around, you might be able to add a space character before or after the name. I’m not certain how the db counts a space character.
Let me know what you find out.
