In http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mysql/ they give an example
of a BOOLEAN MODE search using "here" which they also pointed out was a
stop word in regular full text searches.

mysql> SELECT copy, MATCH(copy) 
AGAINST ('+here past' IN BOOLEAN MODE) 
AS m FROM fulltext_sample WHERE MATCH(copy) 
AGAINST ('+here past' IN BOOLEAN MODE);

I wonder if that means stop words are not used for boolean mode
searches???  I need to search for a whole host of those stupid little
words so this makes a difference to me.

Also, what is meant by rebuild the indexes?? (to change the STOP list). 
Stupid q I know, but not having build mysql, I can't tell if rebuilding
the indexes is an actual step that would need to be performed beyond
editing the file and recompiling.

Directions I can't fully understand---->
You'll need to edit the file myisam/ft_static.c. recompile MySQL, and
rebuild the indexes!
