I'd also consider the error message given when searching for short words
a Bad Idea.
[!! SYNTAX ERROR: the word 'the' is too short, the index requires at
least 4 characters]
AND "cunctuator"
I think it would be better if words shorter than four letters (or stop
words) were ignored, and a more polite error given if it can't search.
