Allow searching for short terms in mediawiki
From Linuxintro
(Redirected from Allow searching for short terms in mysql)
When you set up mediawiki by default, you cannot search for words shorter than 4 letters. To change this, edit /etc/my.cnf.
In the section
[mysqld]
add a line
ft_min_word_len=1
Then
- restart mysql
/etc/init.d mysql restart
- recreate your wiki's search index
mysql use wikidb; REPAIR TABLE searchindex QUICK;
