title: Can I change "ft_min_word_len" on shared hosting?
body: <p>I have MySQL on shared hosting. Is there any way how to change value of <code>ft_min_word_len</code> without administrator access?</p>
  
  <p>I found one workaround, where every word that has less than 4 characters is supplemented with _ or some other char, and the same is done with every searched keyword that is less than 4 characters.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any better, or <em>cleaner</em> way to make Fulltext search work for short words?</p>
