I asked a ques, in a previous post but maybe I should simplify the question. Am I totallly crazy to use FullText for specific keyword searchs? Let's say I have a text data type field and I load it with keywords (text after all), the couldn't I just use a Fulltext index on that field then search for specific keywords? I'd have the boolean mode with a minimum of coding.
If not, well, I haven't found tutorials that lay it out how to code for "and, or, phrase, not" searches without Fulltext. I assume it'd be some more SQL to do that. I'm not too handy with set theory at the moment - it seems the fulltext pust me on the road to having a nice keyword search w/bells and whistles w/min. of hassel even though I'm not using it for it's heralded intended purpose.
