Bug #12145	Note for bypassing 50% rule on fulltext search document page

Description:
The documentation for Fulltext searches available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-search.html mentions the 50% rule of discarding searches, but it doesn't mention that the workaround to disable that behavior is to use the boolean searches.  The boolean search page available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-boolean.html mentions it, but the links to the boolean page from the fulltext page make it seem as though boolean searching is for something else entirely.  It'd really help if there was a mention that boolean searches will disable the 50% rule from the main fulltext page.

Thanks!

Added a note on using boolean to bypass the 50% limit with a link.
