You will neat to edit your mysqul.ini file.  Set ft_min_word_len to 3; i.e., 

        [mysqld]
        ft_min_word_len=3

Next restart MySQL, and rebuild your full-text index using mediawiki's 
maintenance script maintenance/rebuildtextindex.php:
        
        php rebuildtextindex.php

To speed up the process by rebuilding only MediaWiki's index, in wikidb run:
        
        REPAIR TABLE searhindex QUICK;

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] how to limit a search sting to 3 characters?

Moin,

at the moment, the search function in my installed mwiki only considered
search requests, if the string have 5 or more characters.

How can I change this to 3 characters?
