Workaround for short search terms?
Posted: 07 Dec 2015, 15:42
Our hosting server has the mysql configuration set to ft_min_word_len = 4 and we have product names with 3-letter words (such as 'May'). When a customer tries to search for the word 'May' that word is ignored. I thought I remembered seeing in the documentation somewhere a workaround for dealing with shorter search terms but I can't find it now.
Short story: we can't change the configuration on the hosting server. I'm not sure the best way to handle the shorter search terms. 1st thought is to override the default catalog filter search client and pad shorter search terms somehow but that seems like a bad idea the more I think about it.
Anyone point me towards the right direction?
