My setup: TW5.1.19 on tiddlyspot.com

I'm collecting studies on 5g and I want to search for the string "5G" but am getting an error from TW "Search text too short". Can we allow searches of only 2 characters in future versions of TW?

Is there a way to fix this issue in my current TW file?

Thank you.

Edit the shadow tiddler $:/config/Search/MinLength and change the value to 2

If you expect it in a sentence you can have a leading and/or trailing space in your search to get it to three+ characters.

but Eric's suggestion will work well.
