Quote from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Fulltext_Search.html: "MySQL uses a very simple parser to split text into words. A "word" is any sequence of true word characters (letters, digits, and underscores), optionally separated by no more than one sequential `'` character." --- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
