The problem with search just two characters is that by default mysql will not search for words 4 characters or less {maybe it’s three characters], so even adding it to the notes will likely not have an effect on results. A couple suggestions…

On the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab there is a Links section, enable the Region option. With that enabled, the states in the addresses will not be clickable and when clicked on the list will be filtered by that state.

Another option would be to add a new text widget to the sidebar. Add links for each of the states. Something like this:

http://domain.tld/directory/region/state

I hope that helps.
