Hey @Bonsai Nut, I appreciate your work!

Would you please consider reducing the minimum word length for search from 4 to 3 characters? There are many three letter words (JBP, box, etc) that are useful search terms. Right now the forum software and/or the database are limiting the search terms to four characters and greater.

In my experience the change from 4 to 3 is negligible for server resource consumption, but that has been on other sorts of software and never on a forum this large.

Thanks for listening! (If it helps, I am a software engineer, so I'm speaking with some manner of knowledge and authority, but welcome differing opinions or outright rejection.)

Contrary to popular belief the L. stands for Lee.
Not large or lard.

@Bonsai Nut hello, Mr. Admin. I think this configuration got reverted.

When I search yew or jbp I see “no results”

I believe it is case sensitive.... when I search "JBP" I get one bazillion results

[EDIT] Actually, when I search "jbp" I also get one bazillion results... not sure what you might be doing differently?

I also searched "yew" and I got one bazillion and one results [/EDIT]

Me, too.
Out of curiosity I tried jpb and/or JBP, also yew and/or YEW and I got "no results"
