Default Search function

Are you guys able to change one function in the Search box?

I want to be able to search from terms that have three letters (Sat Nav, GPS, etc...)

I found putting an * in front of the 3 letter terms helps.
I just tried *GPS, and it worked fine!
Cheers

Yeah, but if you don't put the * in front of it, you get this...

I think it has something to do with the minimum letter count per thread/post.
It might be a blanket rule also applying to the Search function as well.

It would have been put in place to stop people putting in replies of just "LOL".
