The phrase I hate to see as much as any on SD (even OOS):

"The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search:"

A little example of what words are too short:
OD, OM, BB, CC, 512, 256, GB, MB, etc.

That cuts out about 80% of what I search for, and makes the results I do get completely meaningless. I can understand words like "of" or "the", but can we make sure there are some words that always get included? Numbers, too.

try adding (*) to words that are too short

IE mb*, usb*, om*, gb*
