Description:
I'm curious why the stopword list and the min word length are system-wide settings. Shouldn't they be properties of each individual fulltext index? The appropriate choices for stopwords and minimum length are different for different applications. There's no system-wide right answer for this. Is there some technical reason it has to be this way?

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Make stopwords and min word length a property of the fulltext index rather than a global setting for the entire MySQL installation.

Thank you for the feature request.
