Description:
Two things from me. Those of us who are operating through a hosting company cannot change the minimum word lenght (as far as I know) so making it a parameter in the table options would be extreamly helpful. 

Also, something that would ignore spaces. For example if there was a record called "The Dog" and the user typed in "thedog" it would still show the result.

How to repeat:
If one types "the dog" into a full text search, no results wll be returned.

First feature is very high in our todo.
A second one is somewhat exotic, so I doubt it'll be ever implemented in this form - but probably we'll have a more generic preparser feature that you can use to achieve what you need.

Thank you
