Default Changing the minimum character limit in the search function?

The search function doesn't let you search words that are 3 letters long, any way to change that?

Not without a big rebuild of the database indexes for all the posts, which would probably take a week if not more. And the shorter the search the more resources the search uses as well.

When I need to do a 3 character search I just use Google. Not quite as robust, but you can also get creative.

"Sony DVD calgarypuck"

Or if you know a user and want to search by that:

"Sony DVD calgarypuck ken0042"
