You would have to set 'ft min word len' in MySQL configuration to '3' then restart the SQL server. After you change this value in MySQL and have restarted the SQL server, you need to rebuild all of the full text indexes on the server. Some discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14646738/set-new-value-for-ft-min-word-len-fulltext-in-mysql

I'm not finding any details for the "rebuild all of the full text indexes on the server" part.
Find my.cnf files:
Code:
find / -name my.cnf
/etc/my.cnf
/usr/local/src/centminmod/config/mysql/my.cnfThis link https://electrictoolbox.com/mysql-full-text-index-word-length/ gives instructions for changing
ft_min_word_len=3.This one https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-fine-tuning.html for InnoDB
innodb_ft_min_token_size.(XF currently uses MyISAM but will switch to InnoDB with v2.3)
Restart MySQL https://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-adminsitration/restart-mysql/
service mysql restart.Repair:
The first two links above say
REPAIR TABLE tbl_name QUICK;. But I'm not sure which tables I need to do that for.https://www.askingbox.com/tip/mysql-change-minimum-word-length-for-full-text-search says
REPAIR TABLE tab;. But that gives an error:
SQL:
MariaDB [myforum]> REPAIR TABLE tab;

REPAIR TABLE xf_search_index QUICK;?Hmm, seems to have worked. Somewhere I read you can alternatively do the rebuild via the ACP
/admin.php?tools/rebuild -> Rebuild search index, but it's better and quicker to do it with the mysql command. Correct me if I'm wrong.
