The advanced search is giving me this error

You have to specify at least one search term

I also had this problem.

Here is the solution:-

The search form method was 'post' in my case. I changed it to 'get' and problem solved :)

When you set the search form method to 'post' then the 'q' parameter will be missing in the URL. 'q' signifies for query. Hence, due to the absence of 'q' query string in URL, the notice/error of 'Minimum query length' occurs.

Hope this helps.

have you looked in the logs? /var/system.log and /var/exception.log/? Please post here any entries of interest. Also, please check the value in the web admin for System>Config>Catalog>Catalog Search>Minimal Query Length
