Maybe 2 other ideas regarding this issue…

How about auto completion of a search term entered? That way it wouldn’t be possible for the user to do searches under 4 characters.

Or is it possible to write some kind of redirect in the search, that company names less than 4 characters will be forwarded to right entry. For example as an option in the backend where I can define short search terms and connect them to the correct entry or as a rewrite rule in a special connections htaccess.
