Search problem "GaN transistor"

[as_audio]

I saw the thread
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/powe...or-replacement-sic-rectifier.html#post5348261
and wanted to be informed of these semiconductors.

The search for "GaN transistor" in parentheses turns out with no result:
"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. "

Search without parentheses is useless. But as you see in the thread title
the phrase was used in the forum. "GaN" alone will give no result either.

What is going on ? Thanks.


PS "SiC transistor" search works ..

Search on 3-letter words is often goofy.

Try Google "GaN transistor site:diyaudio.com". This uses Google's mighty powers (perhaps greater than DIYA's Google add-on) restricted to the site diyaudio.com

GaN transistor site:diyaudio.com - Google Search

However the hits are still goofy. Partly because GaN fans do not always say transistor. And "gan" can appear as part-match in many words.

Spell it out, instead of the abbr.

I have made search for my own thread about 6J1 tube and could never find it. Of course i tried all the variants...6j1, 6J1, '6J1', '6j1. Of course i was therefore not aware of other threads about 6j1 tube preamp.
I do not think search function works well.

Yes, three letter 'words' are not detected. We believe that will be different with the new platform.

Absolutely, ElasticSearch will let you search for even single characters (at least, it did when I tested another XF forum's elastic search). We'll definitely be supporting 2 character searches!

Awesome, won’t have to use google search for that...

In the maentime it works if you put the short phrase in " " and the error message
"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not
in your search : ..." does not appear in that case.
