I'm a Mac user... so I often wish to find any threads about the discussion that contains the word "mac". But I can't because your search will only accept keywords four letters or more in length. This is a MAJOR pain! :confused: There are also a lot of other words (particularly acronyms) the are three letters or less that users want to search for.

I know why you do it, allowing for shorter words increases the search index database, no to mention can increase the time a search takes. but you can't simply limit the length of the query w/o "gimping" the search. Most Built-in Board systems still use rather primitive search indexing methods. Regardless, please fix it so you can make it easier on Mac users like me! :)
