Cannot search for 'amoeba'

[Sjeiti]

It's a pity that a lot of on-topic subjects are unsearchable:

https://microbehunter.com/microscopy-fo ... rds=amoeba

results in

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: amoeba.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

A quick test:

- works: cilliate, tardigrade, paramecium, cell, worm, microbe, diatom
- fails: rotifer, objective, eyepiece, lens, camera, slide, diatoms

(which also indicates PHPBB's search is not very smart since it does not register 'diatom' to be similar to 'diatoms')

I am not very familiar with PHPBB but maybe there is some way to remove common words after rebuild? Maybe some other search backend has this functionality?

I guess we could always use this search term in our favorite search engine: amoeba site:https://microbehunter.com/microscopy-forum
But it would be nice to search it from the forum itself.

You can do a search in an Internet search engine and write 'amoeba site:microbehunter.com'
