I am wondering if it is possible to find words inside words with the help of fulltext search.
Is this possible? Google does that, so somehow there should be a way.

Somehow I don't think that Google runs on a single MySQL database. Full text indexes in MySQL mean that "words" (MySQL's definition of a word that is) are indexed, not parts of words.

Google's purpose is to provide a searchable index, so they have built their own data structures for these features.

Another thing is, how do I exclude popular words like "and" "for" and similar from the search? Is there a MySQL setting for this. Like "words_to_exclude ="

Fine tuning full-text search can be found at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-fine-tuning.html

The default stop words are at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-stopwords.html
