The restriction is in place on almost all forums, it reduces the number of huge search results on common words. The way around it is to pad it out to 4+ characters with wildcards. ie, LFP* fan*

The search index for a site this large is in the 5 gig range I think.

If you include 3 character words it goes exponentially higher

See Steves reply here for why LFP* may not work
