You can find out whether the server has picked up the changes from your configuration file by running the following SQL: show variables like 'ft_min_word_len';
As per the instructions in the manual http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-fine-tuning.html you must rebuild the indexes on any tables with a full-text index. Also, note the warning about using myisamchk further down the manual page.
