How to change 'ft_min_word_len' in WAMPSERVER ?

Question

I can't figure out where it is located. I only find a 'my.ini' file which doesnt have a 'mysqld' section in it...

Do I have to upload my website to an ACTUAL server before attempting this?

Thanks

The documentation says : 11.8.6. Fine-Tuning MySQL Full-Text Search :

For example, if you want three-character words to be searchable, you can set the ft_min_word_len variable by putting the following lines in an option file:

[mysqld]
ft_min_word_len=3

Then restart the server and rebuild your FULLTEXT indexes. Note particularly the remarks regarding myisamchk in the instructions following this list.

So, I suppose, if there is no [mysqld] section in your my.ini file, you'll just have to add one, restart the MySQL server, and voila ;-)
