We have a lot of 3-letter acronyms at my company, and I have noticed the search feature does not work correctly when looking for a 3-letter acronym. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi Lori,
Don't know the specific steps to fix this, but it involves changing the sql lowest character search. MediaWiki search has a minimum of 3 chars because SQL has a minimum of 3 chars. I think that is the first part of your answer anyway.
yes you must add ft_min_word_len parameter in your mysql config file and then rebuild the search index
see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Configuration_settings#using_searc...
(NB : I think ft_min_word_len=3 is enough for 3 letters search, use ft_min_word_len=2 only if you also have two-letters words)
