Subject: Boolean searches on InnoDB tables?
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?
Osku is working on FULLTEXT for InnoDB.
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.
You could look at Sphinx, for exapmple.
