Boolean searches

[gunmuse]

When using the Boolean search capabilities, I am finding it terribly slow.  Since I am sure MySql uses this on their own site.  What version of MySql is the fastest at this  5.0?   I am using the PHPMySearch and I really think he did fair job on the crawler part.  I built an XML converter for the results so I can now crawl websites and output XML its just the search on even 5000 rows (20mb of data) is very slow.   Indexing seems to done properly to support this.  I played with tweaking the character settings of the FULLTEXT search took it to 5  tried it at 3 no luck.   I just think it should be faster than it is.   The default indexes are.   URL UNIQUE 5451  URL expiresFlag INDEX 1  expiresFlag title FULLTEXT 1  title keywords body_1 FULLTEXT 1  body_1 body_2     Maybe his PHP is querying the database wrongly or is out of date.  I am running 4.1.8 Mysql What would be a good example on how to query the db for bring back ranked results based on what it found?
