Default Search minimum word length

Is there any way of shortening the minimum word length when using 'search' to 3, instead of 4 characters?

It's a pain on the snake boards, because many popular species are abreviated to 3 letters - BRB, JCP, GTP, FWC etc. Make it hard to search for info in some species.

And don't ask me what snake an 'etc' is
