Revision history [back]

Meanwhile I was updating sailfish-weather translation, I saw a string "Type at least three characters to perform a search". I don't know when this feature was added, but certainly this is not acceptable in Korean place names (and probably C/J too). Most of Korean place names are consisting of two syllables, which is written in only 2 characters in Hangul. This change makes users couldn't search place names.

Do we have any workarounds for this "feature"?

edit: I created a Wikidata query for identifying cities with the name in native languages of their countries shorter than 3 characters: http://tinyurl.com/y7vhzgr7 Due to the timeout I had to trim the results, but anyway it proves that the assumption of place names must be longer than 3 characters are not accepted.
