Default Exception list for "three letter words" when searching

Is there an oppoutunity to add 3letter words to the allowable search list rather than just a cut off at anything under 3letters.

A few suggestions are

E10
E85

and the like. They arent so short and vague that they will kill server power but may assist in a few searches.

Cheers

The three letters is a standard vbulletin default - ours is set to four currently but we have quite a long list added already as per below. I have added your two suggestions.

might be too much effort but if it isnt would you be able to add '2v'? its difficult finding info on them on the forum so being able to search for it would be a great help! thanks

+1 for LTD, quite often get frustrated at not being able to search "FD LTD" when I'm looking for certain things about the Barge.

Maybe the LTD model codes as well, P5 P6 FC FD FE DA DC DL?

ECU added - T5 wouldn't be covered by T56 (although the reverse would be true)

Thanks russell, if you want to know...

I've tried a couple of the new additions. They appear to only find new posts.
Eg searching G6E only finds this thread.

The older entries won't appear until I do a reindex on the search engine which I have scheduled for 0400 Monday morning.
