Hmm... According to this http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html it is in 3.2.23.

Iman, I read this article yesterday in the morning. :-) The new full text search function of MySQL 4beta is exaclty what I'm looking for. There is only a problem... I don't think my university is going to upgrade to a beta version of MySQL, so I need a perl "search algorithm" instead. Thanks a lot. - Oriol -
