How best to deal with Oregon in field of state abbreviations?

"OR" creates problems when you run a search because it's read as the "or" function.  Looks odd to have one state spelled out. And, I'd much rather use the abbreviation for space concerns in various reports. So I'm hoping someone has figured out how to use the OR abbreviation.

Thanks in advance.

      Just to make sure that you are aware, but the lower case "or" is treated normally and its only the upper case "OR" which is treated like specially.  Google works the same way.

      So if this is being built into a built in report, then you can just use the lower case.

      If its an then you would need to train your users.
