I would like to change the ft_stopword_file - what format does this have to be in? Is it just a CSV file and/or do the individual words have to be in quotes (single or double)?

Hi,
Being only a moderate user of MySQL and learner, I at first had to have a "memory jogger" to figure it out. The list is in a file that is compiled and the operation is done on the server.
Please see:
MySQL :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: 5.1.3 Server System Variables (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_ft_stopword_file)
Peace,
Clarke
