Default search character limit

Can we remove it please? The amount of times I've just typed in "Boa" or "BCC/BCI" only to have it say it's too few characters! haha

It wouldn't bother so much but there are soooo many 3 character names/abbreviations.

No using "-" wont work, because then the search actually looks for someone that ryped "boa" IN speechmarks. Stupid thing

Type "boa" and no threads will dcome up (except this one perhaps!) Type boa and you will have too few characters.
