Change 'Search' function?

Just curious if you guys can change the 'Search' function to allow 2 character keywords. I was searching for info on EVO IX, and it wouldn't allow the 'IX'. In the future, I see many posts and search involving the 'IX'.

You'll have a problem if the people posted it as the "Evo 9" too.

Heck why not just enable it to allow 1 letter keyword searches.

Most likely because the amount of strings it will return will make searching terrible in regards to accuracy.

It's very heavy load to search on 2 and even 3 characters. I figure I would draw the line at 3 since evo would be a common term

Yeah, I was thinking about it. Imagine a bunch of simultaneous searches for "as" "I" or "a". That's probably like putting the server in a headlock after not having showered for 2 mos.
