MYSql Full Text Boolean search and relevancy score improvements

I am using a mysql BOOLEAN full text search as shown in the query below and am getting what I think to be bad results that could be more relevant.

Query:

SELECT phppos_items.name,MATCH (phppos_items.name) 
AGAINST ('Samsung S4 LCD*' IN BOOLEAN MODE) as rel 
FROM `phppos_items` 
WHERE MATCH (phppos_items.name) AGAINST ('Samsung S4 LCD*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
ORDER BY `rel` DESC LIMIT 20;

The search is Samsung S4 LCD* IN BOOLEAN MODE and I would think "Samsung S4 LCD/Digi Black" and "Samsung S4 LCD/Digi White" would have a higher relevancy score; but it does NOT (Shown below).

Many of the items in the database contain 2 characters or less to search.

So I changed ft_min_word_len to 2 and restarted server and then dropped and created database again. I thought this would help; but it did not.

Do you have any idea on how to fix this? I need to use boolean mode as Natural Language search has the 50% rule and becoming a STOP word.

Example queries/results

mysql> show global variables WHERE Variable_name = 'ft_min_word_len';
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name   | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| ft_min_word_len | 2     |
+-----------------+-------+
