title: MySQL full text search for words with three or less letters
body: <p>I'm trying to get my full text search (in boolean mode) to retrieve words with three letters or less.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, if I search for something like "NBA", I don't get any results.</p>
  
  <p>However, if I append the wild card operator "*" to the search term, I get results.</p>
  
  <p>I also read that you could remove the three word limit in <code>my.ini</code>, but I'm wondering if there was a better way to do this on the fly.</p>
