The Wiki's search engine doesn't allow 3-letter words.

I am really pissed at the fact that so many words that are 3 letters, like HUD, hub, wad, zip, sky, etc. etc. that the search engine on the wiki does not look for. Some of these are important and it takes forever to find it manually. Is there any way that this could be fixed? It has just annoyed me for the longest time...

I've been making too many requests as of late, haven't I?

It doesn't allow it because there are a lot of common three-letter words that would add nothing useful to the search results but make the search database ginormous.

Hm...

And I guess this means there aren't any workarounds possible for this.

Sky: Skybox
Zip: Archive
HUD: related keywords like "face" (there's a face on the HUD at all but the last two sizes)
Hub: MAPINFO
WAD: WAD file
Etc.: Et cetera
