Am I missing something on mysql full text search?

I was using a simple statement like
select firstname from contacts where match(firstname,lastname) against
('steffa');

I am actually looking for "steffan" but wanted to see what it would return.
Now, if I search for the full name "steffan" it finds it ok. Is there
something I am missing for it to return any matches containing "steff" or
"steffa" or even "stef" ????


Thanks

Steffan
