How do I allow a 3-character search?

What do you mean? If you're using the default vB search, you just have to put the three-letter words that you want added to the search index into the field that I mentioned, "Words to be Included Despite Character Limit".

For instance, I run an automotive/offroad forum, so I have things like O2, ATV, ABS, and fan included in the search database while my minimum character limit is set to 4 characters. So those words are still able to be searched for even though my limit is 4. No hack necessary.
