Is it possible to reduce the minimum length of a term that can be used to search for from currently 4 to 3? There are a number of relevant search terms that are just 3 characters long e.g. ABC, CSV, CHO, PRO etc.
They all cause an error message like "One or more of your search terms were shorter than the minimum length. The minimum search term length is 4 characters"

It looks like I will have to change settings in the database to allow that, so I'll look into it.

I believe I've successfully updated the database (and the forum configuration) to allow for three character searches as it seems to work now.

Great, thank you.
Now I can easily find threads containing the term ABC
