Searching for Short Words??

How do I search for short words like "Dr. Z" with the search function? It always says the words are too short. Educate me!!!!

Normally you can use a wildcard if the word is less than 4 letters, but with "Dr. Z" I would recommend the "Search Forums Using Google" function.

the place where I come from is a small town
they think so small
they use small words
-but not me
I'm smarter than that
I worked it out
I've been stretching my mouth
to let those big words come right out

Works well, I just wish there was a way to search like this but, say, only in the emporium or another specific forum. Possible?
