Two letter keywords blocked out

@mitchell04 brought to my attention that the keyword "bi" is somehow blocked out. You can add it to your patterns but you can't search for it. If you want to check it out for yourself my pattern #39759 uses "bi" as a keyword but if you click on the keyword nothing comes up.

I looked around a bit and realised that this is the case for all two letter words (but also for singular letters). I assume the reason behind that is that words that short don't make much sense as keywords most the time but we can see that there are exceptions.

The issue is that it makes it impossible to search for patterns with the keyword "bi". You can search for "bisexual" but not everyone tagged their pattern this way because "bi" should have been enough as a tag.

This is why I demand this issue to be fixed
- either make it impossible to add that short keywords in general in the first place (I could have added "bisexual" as a keyword if I wasn't able to add "bi" and people would be able to search for it)
- or make two letter words searchable again (I'm sure there are some abbreviations consisting of just two letters that would be good keywords too)

@Admin this is particularly interesting. I wasn't aware two-letter words weren't searchable as keywords as I don't think I've ever searched it before!

Another word affect is "it" (I'm sure there are patterns for the movie but I guess they're hard to find)

And another issue I discovered a while back is that you couldn't use "pink" as a keyword for the singer or "orange" for the fruit because these are colours and they're also blocked as keywords (you can't add them at all).

Thank you @halokiwi, and @Margaron for mentioning me here 🙂 I've just checked it, and see where the problem is, and it's exactly as you say, only 3+ letter keywords are searchable now 🙂. I've added that to my todo list, as the fix won't be that hard, because it's connected with the internals of the database server we're using 🙂.

@Admin, this actually also still happens to me too, like in @KrazyKnotz's pattern she sometimes puts 'x' or 'v' in the keywords and when I click on them or search them up they did not show🙁
