Hi, I currently have a table with 2 text fields, both of which are marked as fulltext. I'm using the full-text boolean search method with fairly good results.
My problems however are: 1. I am on a shared host provider so I can't tweak the full-text search options such as stop words or minimum query length. 2. I would like to be able to search for words as short as 2 characters, but I'm limited by the default mysql configuration to 4 characters. 3. I'd like to get around the stopwords/stop characters. A lot of people search for " 802.11g ", but that search always comes up empty because I think the . character is messing up my searches. 4. Since I'm using the full-text search with a small amount of data, I would like all the results to be returned, even if they keywords are in more or less than 50% of the rows. 5. I really like the +, -, and "" for searching in full-text boolean mode, so I'd like to preserve that functionality. Since I'm on a shared host provider and can't really optimize the mysql configuration, is there any suggestions to help me improve my search results?
