Description:
Hi Team,

A system variable called "ft_max_word_len" in described in the documentation, but there is a mistake in the maximum value it can take.
The documentation states that the maximum value is "82" when it is actually "84", which can be seen from the source code.

Hi Mr. Metodiev,

Thank you very much for your bug report.

You are indeed correct, since 334 / 4 = 84.

Verified as reported.
