You should make it 3 because terms like url, php, mysql etc can't be searched here on the forums because the minimum number of characters is 4.
I've had it happen to me twice while trying to search for things.

4 seems to be the vBulletin standard.

Some genius found that by using double wildcards **abc** you could trick the search minkies. ;)

Ya I figured it was brought up before and I even searched for it but couldn't find anything with my terms I used.

Anyhoo thanks for the tip mouse.
