Full text search min word length

Hi,

I am using fulltext searches and they are working fine. We have set
ft_min_word_len gth to 3.

However, some users need to search for two-letter words, and we are not
sure if we should change ft_min_word_len gth to

ft_min_word_len gth=2

Does changing ft_min_word_len gth from 3 to 2 have a large impact on
query response times? What about index size? CPU usage?

Thanks for your help!

I need to find a way to make sure my frmFindReplace does not obscure the view of the found word that has been...

Hello group, Does anyone know how near a word needs to be to another word to be included in the results of a CONTAINS search that uses NEAR? Is this setting adjustable? Is is stored in the registry? INI or config file? I'm using SQL Server 7 SP3. Thanks, Kelly Greer

Hi, I need to perform full text searches on a batch of PDF and Word files. What is the best way to go? After some research, I'm thinking of extracting the plain text from the files with "pdftotext" and "catdoc", hamonizing the various possible encodings to UTF-8, storing the text in a MySQL database, and then using the full text search capabilities of MySQL. Do you think that would work well? I am told that the files are mostly

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
