noise words in mysql fulltext search engines

is there a way list/add/remove noise words for a mysql search engine?

Hi.

Does anywone know if it's possible to generate a list of noise words ignored by MySQL's fulltext search?

Also, is it possible to add or remove particular noise words to suite your particular application?

Yep, it's a parameter (ft_stopword_file) that you can set in the my.cnf file. See section 6.8.2 Fine-tuning MySQL Full-text search at mysql.com online documentation.
