Hello,
I have a questions with limitations/restrictions that are around for full text search. I have a field with data like "XY-11443;....." and I need to find the record. The original developer was using full text search and says that all was working before the task switched hands. The basic query is select * from metadata where match(type) against ('+XY-11443' in boolean mode); This query spins through all of my records and gives no results. However, if I remove the "XY-" and just do ('+11443' in boolean mode) I get an immediate and correct result. I believe there is something going on with the '-' in the string that is causing trouble - like maybe a stop word or something - but can't find exactly what is going on and more importantly "HOW TO FIX IT" Any help would be awesome!
