OK I think more work went into coming up with a title then making the post. Anyways is there any way to search for three letter "words" such as ODV, DCA, DLR, ETC? We use acronyms so much on the boards that it would be nice to search for them. This very well may be a technical limitation or a feature that is off to help limit bad results.

Opening this up to other search related questions (SRQ).

I've found to search for ODV, type "ODV*". :)

For the sake of Database size and performance, searches are limited to words of 4 characters or more. At this point, the negatives of enabling searches on three letter words really do outweigh the positives, at least from a systems administration perspective.

Like Monorail Man is saying, I throw a "*" on any three letter word, which seems to work.
