|  searching
I have noticed the search tool here has a minimum word length for search terms, which I understand, not taxing the server with terms like "at" or "a" but there are certain terms like "jr" or "1.9" which would return useful information. I don't know that much about databases, but would it be possible to include exceptions for valid 2 character search terms, or to exclude useless ones? I can work around it if it's too hard to change, it just seems like a good way to improve the search tool.

Not just that but even if you put in something like XC-1 which is longer then 3 characters. How come it will not find this?
