Find terms when character length is 3 or less

[mcourtot]

See http://www.ontobee.org/browser/search.php?ontology=OBI&keywords=FCS&Submit2=Search+terms

While I understand that the auto-complete doesn't work for 3 characters or less, it'd be useful if a result was nonetheless returned when the user hits "search". For example in this case, a term "FCS" exists in OBI, see http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0000327

Search with 3 characters or less is now possible in Ontobee.
Note: If no ontology is selected during the search, it may take long time to return any result.

Will this break the system?
Can you run a test for longest waiting time and shortest waiting time?
Also, can you test if there is any combination kill the system?

Thanks,

On the ontobee.org cover page, if you first select PATO ontology and then search “sex”, you can quickly get a few identified results. However, if you do not specify an ontology, Ontobee will look for all ontologies, it will probably take up to a minute or even longer for the program to provide results.

However, if you are searching a keyword which is longer than three letters (four or longer; such as “gender” or “gene”), no matter what, it will be fast.

For cases such as this you might require that an explicit return is needed (no autocomplete) and remind them of this, in the search field if a couple of characters are typed then nothing in the next second. Or you could add a timeout and only present , for autocomplete, terms that can be found within a couple of seconds(with return forcing the complete search)
