You probably don't want to accommodate all single letter words -- just a 
couple of them.

Why not provide an interface to you application where you pre-process 
stuff to be cataloged replacing "C" with "CTheLanguage", and doing the 
same for search criteria.

Of course, "C" would be more like "(^|[^A-Za-z0-9])C($|^[A-Za-z0-9])" or 
something like that.
