I thought I read that was in the plan for 4.0.  I can't find where that's
stated in the docs though - all I see is the stuff about boolean operators.

Does anyone have experience with using the AOL PLS package for text
searching? I am thinking of using it.

Subject: Phrase based fulltext searching


I read through the MySQL documentation on full text indexing, and there
does not seem to be a way to search for a *phrase*, e.g. searching for
a document that contains "Sailor Moon", as opposed to one that contains
the word "Sailor" and the word "Moon", not necessarily together. (Unless I
use LIKE "%Sailor Moon%", but that's inefficient...)

Is the above statement correct?

What techniques do people here use to overcome that limitation? (Using a
program separate from MySQL for indexing text, perhaps?)
