Searching

Could you please lower the minimum search term size to two characters? At the moment it is three which means you can't search for things like: SV 30 mm, ED eyepieces, GS blah blah etc.

How about typing in ED** . Use wildcards to take up the other letters. It will also help eliminate any words ending in "ed"
