Board Search Function

[bobf]

Can we do something about the 'less than 3 letters' rule with the search function?

Because of this restriction it's not possible to search for anything that includes a 3 (or less) letter word or abbreviation.

Some examples I've been caught out with are 'low ph' - fails on two counts, 'adjusting ph' 'uv sterilizer' etc.

I appreciate there are reasons for some restrictions like 'html' etc, but this does make life awkward where there isn't an immediate alternative, 'low ph' as an example.

Not as inconvenient as the board grinding to a halt and nobody being able to use it... Less letters in the search would put more of a strain on the forum and make it a problem for everyone. All of a sudden using google sounds good
