In general, how much will performance decrease? Or should I look for alternatives such as a 2-letter keyword table that I build on my own? Or do most of you just let 2-letter words slide? Building a keywords table is a more proper way I believe. But - try enabling 2-letters index first, it may not be a slowdown for you. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ /Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net ___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

John, give it a try. I had to enable ft_min_word_len=2 on a collection of legal texts because people are searching for abbreviations consisting of 2 letters. It works fine for me.
