Hi All,

I run a database for sites with fan fictions of television series. One of the series is ER (or in other words Emergency Room). Here's the problem:

I have a page where all the series are listed (http://www.acsfanfictionportal.com/Series/) and I want to add a search link behind every serie so that everyone can directly get all the links with fan fictions of that one particular serie. Only, I can't do this for ER. I get the errormessage: Search term too common. I know there are at least 5 links in my database with fan fictions of ER, so I'd like to see them listed.

I found one message about this, but it was from March 2000. Stealth was referring to the Block Common Words Mod. I have no idea what it is, but I guess it somehow included in Links 2.0 right now.

I found Bobsies answer about the search.cgi and changing the numhits and grantotal percentage. Luckily my database "only contains 160 links, otherwise I'd have had a big problem as both Bobsie and Alex described when I tried to change these things. I get everything with the letters ER in it. So I came with another idea......... Can I search on a specific definition? One of my link definitions is fandom. If I can search purely in the fandom registrations, maybe the problem wouldn't be so big.

I can't seem to find Alex' solution in the demo (http://gossamer-threads.com/...mp;ubb=000914:Forum3) because fandom is not a category in my database (see for an example: http://www.acsfanfictionportal.com/New/1-Oct-2002.html) Fandom is an extra field like the desciption field.

How do I solve this problem?



Hope to hear from you soon.


Regards,

Ilse
