Thanks. Ran into a problem where I got a mysql error saying that my wiki's database username did not have ALTER rights. I think the wiki's user, as specified during the installation, only has SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE permissions. To get it to work I placed the mysql root username and password in AdminSettings.php.
Thanks again for the pointer... -Jim

When using the search field in the past I was limited to searching for words with 4 or more letters due to the MySQL configuration. When 1.14.0 came out the release notes (bug 7726) say that the 4 letter limit is worked around and all words can be searched, and this seems to be the case, all the way down to one letter.
However when I upgraded from Mediawiki 1.12.0 to 1.14.0 this search only works on pages saved since the upgrade. Pages that were last saved under Mediawiki 1.12.0 still have the 4 letter search limitation. So it seems that the only pages that can be searched for words less than 4 letters had to have been saved under 1.14.0 (or greater).
Is there a way to allow all pages to be searched down to one word letters outside of having to edit/save every page?
Thanks in advance, -Jim
