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.

It's also impossible to search for big al.
It would be helpful to be able to use search operators, because "big Al" is also not possible.
