Knowledge base: search for three-character words

Recommended Posts

I've just realised that by default, MySQL doesn't return any search results for 3-letter words, such as DNS, FTP, etc. Obviously, this could be improved.

 

There's some official documentation here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/fulltext-fine-tuning.html

 

The parameter "ft_min_word_len=3" is the one controlling this.

 

Has any of you tried fine tuning MySQL so it will return these searches? Have you found any adverse effects?
