fulltext phrase search

[Christopher Book]

Hi,

Using mysql 4.0.2 I get the following behaviour (phrase searching):

match (field) against ('"pack of"' in boolean mode)   

gives me all results with 'pack of', not just 'pack'.  So MySQL isn't
ignoring 'of' even though the word is too short to normally be considered.

However if I use: match(field) against ('"of the'" in boolean mode)

then the whole query is ignored.

It this working as designed?  Should the short words be "sometimes" ignored?
