This sounds to me like a configuration issue. Many times smarter searches like this will restrict the search to be *atleast* 3 characters long. This is usually in the best interests of you because if someone just searches for "a" for example, that would likely match each and every product. If you have a lot of products, this will greatly slow down your site when someone searches for something like this.

Bill should be able to help you out. I can't remember if he has a configuration option for how "short" a search can be, but likely there is.
