enabling mysql fulltext search for 3 letter words... do they allow it?

[balzack]

hi-

i just signed up for 1and1.com hosting since i've heard good things. i'm doing shared hosting right now with the business package ($10 a month).

i need to have fulltext mysql indexing for 3 letter words (default is 4) for my database because i have alot of content that is three letters and users need to be able to search for that.

does 1and1.com allow this? i've emailed support and haven't heard back yet. i'm just wondering if anyone else has had experience with this.

thanks!

I'm not as familiar with the shared hosting package but do you have access to phpMyAdmin or command line access to the mysql client to administrate your MySQL database? You might be able to get somewhere if you have that kind of access instead of waiting on a response from 1and1 support.
