How about just adding the paragraph:
"Search terms must be a minimum of 4 characters in length. Wildcards (e.g. * ) will be disregarded. Therefore, to search for terms such as "ABS", google search must be used instead (see below). "

Also - I have noticed some sites give you the option of using the built in search or google when you click on the search button. Can that be implemented easily?

the current setting is a minimum of two and a maximum of 80
