Ferret talk - May 2007 - is "IN" a special word?

Hi, I am trying to do a search for a field that contains the word "in"
or "IN", but ferret doesn''t return me any result.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_ferret :fields => {
         :user => {:store => :no },
         :len => {:store => :yes}
         }
end


ruby script/console
>> User.find_by_contents(''Cal'')
=> #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0xb762ab58 @total_hits=1,
@results=[#<User:0xb762b8f0 @ferret_score=0.244397431612015,
@ferret_rank=1, @attributes={"user"=>"Cal Poly",
"id"=>"1",
"len"=>nil}>]>
>> u = User.new
=> #<User:0xb76293fc @new_record=true,
@attributes={"user"=>nil,
"len"=>nil}>
>> u.user = ''IN''
=> "IN"
>> u.save
=> true
>> User.find_by_contents(''IN'')
=> #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0xb76121ac @total_hits=0,
@results=[]>
>> User.rebuild_index
=> {}
>> User.find_by_contents(''IN'')
=> #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0xb7605a38 @total_hits=0,
@results=[]>
>> u.user = ''in''
=> "in"
>> u.save
=> true
>> User.find_by_contents(''\i\n'')
=> #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0xb75fd720 @total_hits=0,
@results=[]>
>> User.find_by_contents(''in'')
=> #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0xb75fbbc8 @total_hits=0, @results=[]>

so is "in" or "IN" a special word?  What can I do to make
them appear in
my search result?

Is there a list of all the special words?

Thanks.

looks like it is a stop word:

irb(main):003:0> Ferret::Analysis::FULL_ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS.include?
''in''
=> true

stop words will not be indexed ..
