I think so. You want to add it as "set-variable = ft_min_word_len=3" without the quotes AND (if you check out the docs on said variable) you /must/ rebuild the index before it will take effect. Restarting the server will have it re-read the config file, then you want to rebuild the index. b. mysql --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
