The minimum word length is probably a restriction coming from MySQL Fulltext Search which only allows words of minimum 4 characters (for a good reason, technologically speaking).
If Stefan wanted to support >4 character words he'd have to add a special case for them and try a LIKE '%foo%', but it is possible that would be too intensive on the server... in which case he'd have to turn to an external searching solution like Sphinx or Lucene.
Point is that this might be more complicated than it seems. |
