Yes, 3 characters is the minimum. Apparently that can be changed but it requires changing something about the database, so I didn't bother when I learned that.

Hi,
I have pages which contains "Ant" and "CVS" in header and normal text. But if I search for "ant", "Ant", "ANT", "cvs" or "CVS" I get no matches.
I added "Ants" to the page text and a search for "ants" is successfull.
Is there a minimum length for search terms and if so why I don't get a message informing me about that fact?
A search for "cvs" in Wikipedia is successfull by the way...
