Default Allow the search engine to search for three letter words

As many of you probably know ECU's are commonly referred to by the three character code, p06 or p30 for example. As of now it is not possible to search for the term p06 or ECU for that matter.

How else am I supposed to find a thread about the computer in the car when all the common terms are shorter than the search engine allows?

Further, two letter words are important to Hondas: EG, EK, EF, EM, etc. The only way around this, I think, is to put them in quotes. Search for "Del Sol ECU" instead of del sol ecu. That might work but I'm too lazy to test that first.

I would imagine the four letter and above search restriction was to reduce load on the server. Often when a website is hosted on "rented" hardware you find any tweak you can to reduce the CPU/memory/disk impact in order to reduce monthly fees.

Thanks for the idea of using quotes. I just searched "p30 ecu" and got some hits
