Joe,
         By default MySQL has a 4 letter minimum for fulltext searches; 
words must be at least 4 letters in length otherwise they won't get added. 
Since you are using MySQL 3.23, you will need to recompile the binaries. 
With MySQL 4.x, you can simply change a variable in the configuration file 
and rebuild the fulltext indexes.
