First of all, LOVE the site - great job.
What's up with the word size min on the search? For example, I was trying to research CDI Unit on this site, and failed because CDI doesn't meet the 4 letter requirement. Am I just missing something?

Add an asterik * to the end or begining of the word.

*CDI or CDI*

The asterisk is a wildcard and can replace ANY character including a space. So a search for "dog*" would find "dog " (with a space after it) as well as "dogs" and "doghouse".

But they generally don't trigger on spaces at the BEGINNING of words. So "*cdi" will trigger on "revbox/cdi", but it won't trigger on simply " cdi" (with the space in front).
