Hello
I `ve got problem with biblio module and short author surnames. For example I`ve got author with http://..../biblio/author/Sur
where Sur is surname. The filter doesn`t catch that surname and is giving me info that there are no such records of publications in database. Where I should change the option of filter to catch Surnames with 3 letters?

I will be very gratefull for the help,
br
Sebastian

This is most likely a MySQL issue. There is a setting called ft_min_word_len in the my.cnf file which controls the minimum word length for full text searches, I have mine set to 3 like this: ft_min_word_len=3

Hi,
thanks that was that problem. If anybody have problem with that issue:
1. Change my.cnf file (/etc/mysql/my.cnf)

[mysqld]
ft_min_word_len=3

2. Restart server. (mysql stop mysql start)
3. Rebuild your FULLTEXT index
REPAIR TABLE biblio quick;

Sometimes you should turn off caching system in Drupal or clean cache of mysql database

thanks for your help!!!

Actually this shouldn't be an issue in the latest release or dev versions. What version are you using?
