Full Text Search - characters limit

I have added full text search to my website recently. The searching
facility is working fine and the search string should have at least 4
letters. Now I need the search engine to work on strings with 2
letters and above.
Is it work if I add a php.ini file with following two lines to the
site root.

[mysqld]
ft_min_word_len=2

[myisamchk]
ft_min_word_len=2

My web hosting company is 1and1, How can I get my database restarted?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

No, because these are not PHP values - they are MySQL ones. And MySQL
isn't going to read a php.ini file.

Try asking in comp.databases.mysql to see if there is anything you can do.
