It was developer who wrote documentation :-) Discrepancy is, because I thought - from my head - that changing GWS_IN_USE to GWS_IDF would be enough to disable the 50% threshold (GWS_IDF should produce more adequate weighting than GWS_FREQ). Then, it happened out that I was wrong :-) MySQL-4.0.1 has boolean search engine built-in. It does not have 50% threshold, and (as a bonus) is much faster.
