| Recently, adding a bunch of minifigures parts, I had to type the words "light
bluish gray" and "dark bluish gray" in the search field.
It would be a lot easier and faster if you can just type three letters instead
of three words.
Is update like this even possible? Can I help somehow in doing it?

I agree. While we're at it, add a trans* too.

It would need lots of repetition in names. If I want to find something like a
torso assembly with Light bluish gray hands, I search for 'torso "light bluish
gray hands"' to be sure not to pick up other parts that are light bluish
gray. If there was an abbreviation as well torso assemblies like this:
would need to be called "Torso with White Stomach Pattern / Light Bluish Gray
Arms (LBG arms)/ Light Bluish Gray Hands (LBG hands)" otherwise searches with
the colour name in front of the part name would not work. Calling it "Torso with
White Stomach Pattern / Light Bluish Gray LBG arms / Light Bluish Gray LBG hands"
breaks that functionality.

Depends. It's possible to set up a search index to include synonyms at index
time (so you would say that "DBG" is a synonym for "dark bluish gray" for example)
or at search time (so that "DBG" and maybe "dark bluish grey" and "dark bley"
translate to "dark bluish grey"). Modifying the search functionality is probably
the easiest thing to do here on BL (to change the indexing would mean re-indexing
everything).

This is what I exactly meant. Just simple translation in a search engine that
understand and change those three letters into three words.

One could do a local script on one’s browser to replace LGB (etc.) with the long
version(s) when one types it (them) in the BL search boxes.

Possible yes. But on bricklink? A site that cannot manage to return a title with
stripe in it when you search for stripes (or vice versa).
