Comment (by johnbillion):

 The string length has a very loose correlation to the relevance of the
 word in a search. Not all short words are irrelevant, especially when it
 comes to initialisms. Example: TV, 3G, MD, and several country names such
 as US and UK.

 The stopword list is the best method and should also include all the one-
 and two-letter words in English that are to be filtered out. The
 Relevanssi search plugin, for example, includes quite an exhaustive list
 of stopwords.
