I change my link Indexing Scheme to mysql and it gives really better search result; the problem is that it can only search word with 4 sign (It actually write in the manual).
Now this is a big problem because I have a lot of word with just 3 sign and the search can not find them.
Is there an option to make it work with 2 or 3 signs? Or is there other way to get good search result.

Hi,

have you fix the problem? I have it too.

regards
Torsten

Just to clarify, by "sign", you mean "characters" ?

i.e doing a search for "and" wouldn't work, but "andy" would ?

Hi Andy,

yes, I mean "characters". I have a lot of "pdf" and no result :-(

In mysql conf (my.cnf) I have add "ft_min_word_len=3" ( and restart the mysqld after)
to find the for example the "pdf". But no result.

Hi,

Mmm.. I would have thought that would sort it.

Maybe email GT support (support @ gossamer-threads.com), and see if they can shed any light? I'm afraid I don't really use MySQL indexing (I tend to use non-indexed, or INTERAL indexing).

Cheers

I would do that. I’ll post the answer here :-)

Hi,

I have the resolution. The support of gossamer. :-)

The support have made the changes required to
allow the usage of 3 character search terms.
He changed the file admin/GT/SQL/Search/MYSQL/VER4.pm so that the min word size was 3 rather than 4.

Thanks Aki and the support
