I just discovered this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-boolean.html Which states: "They can work even without a FULLTEXT index, although a search executed in this fashion would be quite slow. "
But then I'm kicked in the nuts because: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-search.html "Full-text indexes can be used only with MyISAM tables" When I try a query on an InnoDB table: "SELECT * FROM categories WHERE MATCH (name) AGAINST ('+ELECTRONICS' IN BOOLEAN MODE);" I get: "Error Code : 1214 The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes" So, what is the deal? Am I missing something? And if I can't use boolean searches on InnoDB tables with mySQL 5.0.18, Then WHEN will I be able to? In the mean time, what is the best way to generate this equivallent functionality via PHP or some other mySQL 5 sanctioned way? I've seen several different examples on the web, but don't know which to commit to. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
