By default, the full text indexing engine doesn't include words with
less than 4 characters in. If you are using MySQL 4 you can change the
"minimum length" via the ft_min_word_len variable. On MySQL 3.x
there's nothing you can do short of changing the actual source code
and recompiling.



apologies, I forgot to mention that.

I was aware of this, and just finished changing the ft_min_word_length to 2 and rebuilding my indexes.

searches for 'SAS' or 'net' yield results as expected, but DB2 still does not.
