I've been through this section of the manual, starting with: http://www.mysql.com/doc/F/u/Fulltext_Search.html which states that, "Any 'word' that is present in the stopword list or just too short (3 characters or less) is ignored." I didn't make myself really clear in my question. I would like to include words that are 3 characters in a FULLTEXT index.
