I have wondered about the logic of this approach on FT when so many things like equipment, airline or airport codes and acronyms like AUP, GUF, SWU, etc. must be "unsearchable" by those new here. Accepting all TLA based on capitalisation / numeric content and whitelisting industry terms would seem to be pragmatic (although First is an annoying one

).
