[Mediawiki-l] Mediawiki 1.3.2 doesn't find three letter words!?!

[Nick Triantos]

Change your 'my.cnf' file to contain at least the following:

   [mysqld]
   ft_min_word_len=2

   [myisamchk]
   ft_min_word_len=2

and then even 2-character wordss should be searchable.  Once you change 
this parameter, you need to rebuild the text index by running 
maintenance/rebuildtextindex.php

cheers,
