Hi, I've always done conventional searches Where ( title like '%$key1%') or(isynopsis like '%$key2%') etc etc
But the client has increased the complexity of the search and especially the size of his database and the search has really slowed. (particularly now that I have to search a longtext field.) So should I consider fulltext searching? Do I have to build an index first and how often is it updated etc? -- zzapper Success for Techies and Vim,Zsh tips http://SuccessTheory.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
