This is kind of nuts!  list blocking stuff without a VERY narrow number of 
words in it.  Doesn't even contain MySQL in the list ;)

As I said I am on a shared host and don't have the option to recompile 
MySQL.  The answer is yes, it is in an .h file (or something like that).

My point exactly ;)  But this is what it is (4 letters).  Penelizes us non 
hardcore commercial users who can't afford our own box.

The latest documentation categorically states there is no other way of 
changing this.

Well, if it's not in the todo, it's probably, already done, isn't it ?

See the manual, and SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'ft_%'

Is there a way to get mysql to change the default from 3 to 2 letter words (or
less) that are ignored in fulltext indexes?
I'm running version 4 alpha. I checked the TODO and it's not listed. Is it
possible to make this a config.h option? A minimum of 4 letters for a word to be
included in a fulltext index seems a bit restrictive.

tnx!
