Hi, We''re using Ferret in a slightly unorthodox way: We''re indexing a large (>100,000) list of names of places all around the world.

Hi, Can Ferret be configured to change the minimum word length of what it indexes? Right now it seems to drop words 3 characters or less, but I''d like to include words going down to 2 characters. How would I do that? Francis
