The install doc doesn't mention this requirement; in fact, it says:

"You need MySQL version 3.23.41 or higher."

What will the effect of not having this property be? The install docs
say only this:

"This causes a lot of Bugzilla specific words to be missed, including
"cc", "ftp" and "uri"."

Since it's index related, i'm guessing it will make some searches
slower, but will it in fact break stuff?
