Allow to search for 3 letter words

[markhatlan]

I have a JP6, but when I search the forums with "JP6" it says that JP6 is not included in my search because its too short. So I have no way for searching for anything related to my guitar? Please change it so I can search for 3 letter words in the forum.

I tried JP6% and JP6* -- it seems like the asterisk works as a wildcard. I imagine the 3 character limit is a tuning/reliability choice that may not be easily accessible to the admins.

The three letter (less than 4 characters) is a basic limitation of MySQL databases.

However, there is a fix for this called Elastic Search. We have what we need to install this - it requires an addition to the server first and then an addon. It's just a matter of getting to it. I'll boost this to the top of the priority list.
