    What is the importance of ft_query_expansion_limit and what exactly it's doing?

    from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variabl es.html
    Quote:

    The number of top matches to use for full-text searches performed using WITH QUERY EXPANSION.

    I don't unerstand what they mean by that.

    Basically, query expansion performs a full text search and then uses the first few results (configured by ft_query_expansion_limit) to search again and compose your result set. The explanation in the docs is probably better than mine:

      Does increasing this value improves performance?

        Unless you are specifically using WITH QUERY EXPANSION in your fulltext queries, this will have no affect on performance.
