Default searching for words with only 3 letters

Hello #2 on this site,

you asked for a way to search for strings with a length < 4.
It can be done by just adding a "-" i.e. a minus sign after the word. For example, if you are looking for "vie" just search for "vie-" and you will find what you need.

I found this out when I tried to find songs of "ska-p", and got all sorts of matches containing "ska" and the letter "p". This is a pity!
I'd request that as a feature for the network, that you can search for things like "ska-p" and get better matches. You might even surround your string with quotations marks to make sure you get an exact match. What about it?

best regards,
B.
