Can the minimum 4 character restriction on searches be lifted? Seems like a silly and arbitrary limit. There are plenty of reasons why someone might want to search for a three letter acronym.

There's gotta be a technical reason for it, like pulling up thousands of posts by searching the word and or the or even worse, LE. What are you searching for anyway? Maybe I can help. Pm me.

 
This caught my eye because I use to be quite involved in search algos, SOUNDEX & much more. Loved it!

In the Google search box, you can use Advanced Operators to searh for, say 3 letter terms on a site:

site:drugbuyersguide.com +"OTC"

I used an innocuous term I had posted recently for this example, but I guess it wasn't indexed yet.

For that matter, I question why ALL our forum posts are indexed in the SEs.

======

Don't worry about data mining & the Wordtrackers -- There are a billion Google queries a day.

======

The 4 char forum query dates to when server bandwidth was at a premium, AFAIK.

And no, it's not meant to thwart 'LE'....
