Does this seem to weird to anyone?

mysql> SELECT count('') FROM emailarchive where match (sendername) against
('shawn') group by '';
+-----------+
| count('') |
+-----------+
|     13286 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (3.29 sec)

mysql> SELECT count('') FROM emailarchive where sendername like '%shawn%'
group by '';
+-----------+
| count('') |
+-----------+
|     13286 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (1.96 sec)


The more matches there are in a fulltext index search, the slower it gets
until finally at about 7,000 matches it actually becomes SLOWER than a
search with *no* index.

That leads me to believe that it's caused by the relevancy/weighting
routines, which leads me into my question...

Is there a way to completely disable the relevancy/weighting routines in the
fulltext index queries?  I would really like to know either way so I can
stop stressing about it.  :-)
