Hi, We use MySQL for our full text search. By default, MySQL ignores terms that are less than 4 characters long. In our search domain, though, 2-3 character terms are actually relevant to our users. It appears that there is a way to configure MySQL to accept terms that are less than 4 characters. I'm tempted to implement this, but am worried that there may be some unwanted side effects (e.g. "the", "and", "is", "as" all become valid search terms).
Perhaps I should allow 2-3 character terms and just parse out stop words, but this may be an overly complex solution to a simple problem. Anyone here with some suggestions? Any input is gladly appreciated. Thanks!
