Hi, I did everything but rebuild, I restarted the server but the variable still has the same value. And I don't know how to rebuild the table, I read the documentation, but I guess I am just missing something there, like I have no idea as a newbie where to enter those commands etc.

Did you rebuilt the FullText indexes after restarting the server? >From the 5.0.18 manual pages: 12.7.5. Fine-Tuning MySQL Full-Text Search <quote> Most full-text variables described in this section must be set at server startup time. A server restart is required to change them; they cannot be modified while the server is running. Some variable changes require that you rebuild the FULLTEXT indexes in your tables. Instructions for doing this are given at the end of this section. The minimum and maximum lengths of words to be indexed are defined by the ft_min_word_len and ft_max_word_len system variables. (See Section 5.2.2, Server System Variables.) The default minimum value is four characters; the default maximum is version dependent. If you change either value, you must rebuild your FULLTEXT indexes. For example, if you want three-character words to be searchable, you can set the ft_min_word_len variable by putting the following lines in an option file: [mysqld] ft_min_word_len=3 Then you must restart the server and rebuild your FULLTEXT indexes. Note particularly the remarks regarding myisamchk in the instructions following this list. </quote> Regards Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not.
