Hi Teddy, you may try the following hack to make '-' a normal text character (these code fragments are from mysql-4.0.25 but it may work with 5.0.x as well): Change the source in myisam/ftdefs.h #define true_word_char(X) (isalnum(X) || (X)=='_') to #define true_word_char(X) (isalnum(X) || (X)=='_' || (X)=='-') and substitute another char for '-' in myisam/ft_static.c: const char *ft_boolean_syntax="+ -><()~*:\"\"&|"; which could become something like const char *ft_boolean_syntax="+ =><()~*:\"\"&|"; Then recompile and try your luck. You have to rebuild your indexes. Thomas Spahni -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
