There is a forum devoted to such issues, called the Technical Issues forum. Take a look at the very first thread over there -- it is a sticky devoted to FlyerTalk Search issues.

The suggestion to use a wildcard search for a short (3 characters or less) search term was proposed over there by FT staff.

Also, the issue has been repeatedly brought up in the Suggestions forum.

(And of course, threads on this subject are also randomly scattered around various other forums as well.... But the "best" place is probably Technical Issues. @:-) )
