Subject: RE: Boolean searches on InnoDB tables?


Osku is working on FULLTEXT for InnoDB.

So, despite what the documentation says:
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. "

You're saying that InnoDB tables cannot use a BOOLEAN search at all, no way,
no how?

hmm... I have not heard that a MATCH ... AGAINST query in MySQL could work without a FULLTEXT index. If you try the query on a MyISAM table that does NOT have a FULLTEXT index, does it work there?

At the moment I only have a small db while I'm building the product, so
"slow" is going to be relative at this point (ie. fast), and I would expect it to converge when you get FULLTEXT working in InnoDB. I would like to get
the code in there though for now.

Do you have an estimate timeframe till this is implemented?
Weeks? Months? Version?

Sorry, no.

You could look at Sphinx, for exapmple.

What is Sphinx? I did a quick google search but found many references to
pyramids and other projects (popular name). Do you have a URL for this?
