The software accepts words longer than 2 characters - doing a search for edit vi grep will still give the error. Even if you quote "vi" you get the error. That is what the person is complaining about.
Here we actually have someone who is willing to search first, and can't!
I think this is something Neo would have to make a call on - 3 letters is probably the default but UNIX has commands with only two letters (cd, vi , ed, ar, at, mt, lp, bc, dd, du, ln ...) which folks may be adding to their search.

netid(4) File Formats netid(4)
NAME
netid - netname database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/netid
DESCRIPTION
The netid file is a local source of information on mappings between netnames (see secure_rpc(3NSL)) and user ids or hostnames in the local
domain. The netid file can be used in conjunction with, or instead of, the network source: NIS or NIS+. The publickey entry in the nss-
witch.conf (see nsswitch.conf(4)) file determines which of these sources will be queried by the system to translate netnames to local user
ids or hostnames.
Each entry in the netid file is a single line of the form:
netname uid:gid, gid, gid...
or
netname 0:hostname
The first entry associates a local user id with a netname. The second entry associates a hostname with a netname.
The netid file field descriptions are as follows:
netname The operating system independent network name for the user or host. netname has one of two formats. The format used to
specify a host is of the form:
unix.hostname@domain
where hostname is the name of the host and domain is the network domain name.
The format used to specify a user id is of the form:
unix.uid@domain
where uid is the numerical id of the user and domain is the network domain name.
uid The numerical id of the user (see passwd(4)). When specifying a host name, uid is always zero.
group The numerical id of the group the user belongs to (see group(4)). Several groups, separated by commas, may be listed for a
single uid.
hostname The local hostname (see hosts(4)).
Blank lines are ignored. Any part of a line to the right of a `#' symbol is treated as a comment.
