Workaround for setting ft_min_word_len global variable?

Hiya,

I have asked my MySQL host to change the ft_min_word_len setting in the option file, but they won't do it as it's a shared environment, etc.

The reason I want it changing it because (with ft_min_word_len currently set to 4), queries such as

...WHERE (MATCH(name) AGAINST('tr-24' IN BOOLEAN MODE) return no results. (The hyphen does not seem to be the sole cause of the problem as using 'tr-3451' does yield results.)

Is there a workaround for not being able to set ft_min_word_len? (The only idea I came across was changing out the -'s in the db records to _'s and changing the query to ...WHERE (MATCH(name) AGAINST('tr_24' IN BOOLEAN MODE) but this is far from ideal.)

Cheers,
James
