Lightbulb Short Searches

Hi,
Am having trouble searching as things like E*, bbm, lpg, gas, etc aren't recognised as they are considered too short for the search function.
Did I miss something on how to search for these kinds of threads, or do I have to manually search through each forum?
Can these words be put into an accepted list or something?

Just use the wildcard search at the end of the terms i.e. bbm*, lpg*, gas* etc... I'm not too sure what you were trying to find with E* as their are many words that begin with the letter E, lol.

set search terms shorter than the minimum length can be allowed in the admin control panel... it does require re-indexing the search engine though
