Default search function

why is the minimum letters in a word you can search four? It's annoying that you can't search for perfectly valid three letter words. Like "viv" and "toe" and "bug" and and and and "sid"

What if I couldn't find myself - the search function wouldn't help at all and I'd be lost forever!

Too much strain on the server.

Search for "sid*", or "bug*"
