Previously the minimum amount of characters index was three to keep from indexing largely useless words. However, in deciding whether to whitelist 2 character terms manually (such as AR, AK, HK, etc.), I figured it'd be easier just to open it up to all words greater than one character long. After a bit of testing, it was determined that while it did double the size of the search index, the performance cost of those searches was marginal at best.

So that means searches for guns that have two-letter abbreviations will work.

Put this in common language so that people that don't understand this **** can understand it.
I do, but there are about 20,000 that don't.

When you're searching for a gun like an AK-47 or AR-15, you can search for AK or AR just fine. People listing in classifieds no longer have to list their item as AR15 or AK47 if they want it to show up in search results.
