Is there a way to set the search length?  A member is trying to search for a 3 letter word I know has been used a lot and it's not coming up.  I suspect there might be excluded words like "the", but this shouldn't be one of them, it's SBB.

Have you changed your mySQL configuration to allow 3 character search?

add this on my.cnf

ft_stopword_file = ""

then rebuild search index
