Hello,

it appears to me that in the default settings searchwords with a length of up to three letters are disregarded. This is obviously useful to rule out a lot of everyday words one doesn't want to search for anyway (me, it, he, she, and, you, not, ...).

On the other hand this also rules out all TLAs (three letter abbreviations) which turns out as a major drawback in a development field (WAP, ANT, ...) and users continue complaining about not finding relevant articles. (Mediawiki here is used as an IT development intranet.)

Even after researching I couldn't find settings for varying systemside search criteria (lists of stopwords or the mentioned length problem). Where do I have to look?

Thanks Philipp
