Default Tips for searching keywords less than 3 characters

Any tips on how to best search on phrases or words that are less than 3 characters? Unfortunately car manufacturers love to name models using less than 3 characters, like GT, FPV, XR8, XT and so on

Most of the Ford models and variants are already included in a list of less than 3 character words that can be searched on.
