Hi, every body

I'm using windows XP and MySQl 4.0.17.
I would like to set the ft_min_word_len for fulltext searching.
I try to set it in my.ini, but it fail.
Also, I type in the following command:

1. C:\mysql/bin>mysqld -O ft_min_word_len=2
2. mysql> set-variable=ft_min_word_len=2


All of them are fail.

Can anyone give me any suggestion?
Please help.

I run 4.0.17 on Win XP and this works for me:

[mysqld]
ft_min_word_len=3

Then restart the server and rebuild your FULLTEXT indexes:

mysql> REPAIR TABLE tbl_name QUICK;


Are you forgetting to restart the server?
Are you forgetting to rebuild the fulltext indexes?

how can I go to :
[mysqld]
ft_min_word_len=3

There should be a my.ini file in your c:\WINDOWS directory.
Open it with a text editor.
You should see this line in the file:
[mysqld]
Beneath this line, add the following line:
ft_min_word_len=3
