#34112 closed defect (wontfix)

Cannot search for "mc" because its length is too short, even though it is the exact name of a port

Description

Go to

http://trac.macports.org/search?portsummarysearch=on

enter "mc" in the search field and make sure that "Ticket port and summary" is selected, and nothing else is. Get:

Search Error

Search query too short. Query must be at least 3 characters long.

I understand the need to restrict queries to a minimum length, but in this case the restriction seems too harsh because "mc" is the name of a package, and I was searching for tickets concerning it. Being rejected because my query is too short was quite unexpected.

I complained about this once too. But the response was to use the report that looks for a specific port.
