I don't see this changed in the near future.

This is not a mysql problem. It's a vb problem. The problem being stated is that if any word in a phrase is below the minimum word length no results are returned. So, if I search for 'Login as User' I get nothing, because 'as' is too short.

This can be dealt with by removing the 'as' before even sending the query, and displaying in the search results that the 'as' was removed due to being below the minimum word length. It's a bug, flat out.
