Rebuild searchindex
php rebuildtextindex.php
Changing the minimum word length for searches
- Edit /etc/my.cnf add user [mysqld]
- ft_stopword_file=''
- ft_min_word_len=2
- Restart mysqld
- Run the rebuildtextindex.php scrips (not sure if this is necessary)
The stopword file keeps mysql from ignoring searches for common words. I take it out so we find everything.
