Fulltext search: Is there a way to disable the stop words?

[John Porter Simons]

Does anyone know of a runtime way to disable the stopword list? I'm doing 'boolean mode' fulltext searches, but not getting any results if the term is in the compiled-in stopword list. It seems like boolean mode shouldn't even use the stopwords -- they're more for determining relevence.

I tried prepending '+' to all my terms, but that didn't override the stopwords. It was easy enough to change the source code to disable stop words, but I've been completely unsuccessful at getting my custom-built binaries to work at all. I need to use the pre-built binaries.
Any system variables I could set, or any parameters I could add to MATCH ... AGAINST query syntax, or any plans to disable stopwords for boolean fulltext searches in future builds?

Thanks for any advice you can give,

John Simons
