Ultimately that is the staffs choice. I only wanted to point out that it can be done fairly easily, and that some common acronyms like PM and ICQ, AIM, MSN, etc... don't work in searchs with the current setup. Which is an issue when searching for hacks related to these words.

BTW the thread you pointed out incorrectly states that three letter words would need to be removed from the stop list and MySQL recompiled if you changed the minimum to 3 letters. Since you don't want those words in the stop list indexed because they are too common, that would be the exact wrong thing to do. There are four letter and even larger words in the stop list, and the default minimum is 4 letters, so why would dropping it to 3 or 2 mean you have to remove 3 and 2 letter words from the stop list?
