php.ini has nothing to do with this.

It's a MySQL setting and, if I remember correctly, involves changing a setting most people don't have access to. That is, you'd have to ask GoDaddy to change it.

php.ini is a file that allows you to set directives used by PHP - directives such as maximum file upload size, include paths, etc. The minimum word length for MySQL full text searches is usually set in my.cnf - the MySQL server config file. I really doubt you have access to that file and, since it's server-wide, I really doubt GoDaddy will change it for you.
