Default Search Bar

Just wondering what the reason behind the search bar only allowing words with more than 3 letters.

I get words like: the, and, can, etc, but there have been a few times where I wanted to search for a 3 letter word.

Just curious...

Searches are an intensive function in terms of the database load and thus theya re restricted to 4 or more letters except for a range of defined 3 letter words and acronyms that we have in a list.

Cheers
