Is there a way to get mysql to change the default from 3 to 2 letter words (or less) that are ignored in fulltext indexes? I'm running version 4 alpha. I checked the TODO and it's not listed. Is it possible to make this a config.h option? A minimum of 4 letters for a word to be included in a fulltext index seems a bit restrictive. tnx!
