 Question:
-Why does the the search not return words less than 3 characters long?
+Why does the search not return words less than 3 characters long?
 Answer:
-To get MySql to search on words less than two letters depends on the version of MySql you are using.
-If it is less than version 4, then you have to recompile MySql, as this is an internally set variable.
-From version 4 onwards, the word length can be set dynamically - you'll just have to check the does on full text indexing to see where.
+The search uses MySQL's fulltext index, which by default has a minimum
+word length of 4 characters.  Read
+http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Fulltext_Fine-tuning.html on how to
+configure your MySQL instance to support this.
