You need to use the REGEXP capability instead of "Like" in a where clause
select 'field(s)' from 'table' where 'field' REGEXP '^[a-z]{1,3}$';

Subject: Fulltext search of words < 3 chars in 3.23
Does anyone have a method of performing fulltext searches on words less
than 3 characters on MySql 3.23? I am dealing with a web hosting company so
a re-compile is out of the question.
Anyone have any good suggestions? I need to perform searches on acronyms
like "php".
Thanks.
