You can change value of the ft_min_word_len (look at the ft_static.c) and 
recompile MySQL server.

Any one else with any suggestions? Remember, re-compile is out of the 
question, it's a hosted site.
Thanks.

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}$';

Nope.  IN BOOLEAN MODE wasn't implemented until 4.x.

If it's necessary to use FULLTEXT and not one of the other suggestions,
you're out of luck.  As Egor pointed out, you do this in 3.23 by
a source modification plus a recompile.  If you can't recompile,
you can't change the word length.
