So at what point did the minimum search go from 3 to 4 letters? I used to be able to search for AMS in threads and no I cant. Try getting information on installing an AEM EMS, or look up wiring colors for IAT or MAP sensors, or MBC, ABS, BCS, AFC, AEM FIC, etc.
See how worthless it makes the search feature when almost every automotive acronym is a 3 letter word?
+10000000
very frustrating, could 3 letter searches at least be enabled in How To and For Sale?
What am I doing wrong? I get no results when I hit the "New Posts" link. I get no results when I search for posts by a username. IE7

Adding 3 letter words to the search index increases the size of the index exponentially. This can not be enabled per forum. Would you guys rather have this or a slower site?

Bigger forums with the same forum engine can do it. I don't see why this one can't.
Cause it's a pain in the ass to rebuild a search index with 5 million posts. The default mysql search is set to 4 characters. That would also have to be manually changed. There's a couple other internal factors that come into play as well.
I'm sure they could do it, but I'm just saying the overheard is far greater when a search index starts to gets that large. It gets slow, big, and shitty.

From what I understand, it was already setup to 3 at one point...
