Perhaps the searches that return "nothing" are actually matching more than 50% of the record in the table.
From the manual:
"In addition, words that are present in more than 50% of the rows are considered
common and do not match."

Subject: Full-Text problems
Hi all,
I am experiencing some issues with Full-Text and was hoping someone could
shed some light on the following.
I have some content which I know contains for example the word "news", the
table is MyISAM, the column type is LONGTEXT, there is an index on the
column of FULLTEXT.
I have adjusted the system variables so that the minimum word length is 2
(ft_min_word_len = 2) and the stop word file is set to (ft_stopword_file =
'')
Can anyone tell me why it is not picking up the word news plus some others?
I have verified that the system picked up the new variable settings with
SHOW VARIABLES
I have also deleted everything in that table and reinserted the content,
which I hope rebuilds the table?
Other words that do not appear are;
- dealer
- sign in
- contact
I have verified that it returns other results, i.e. when searching on words
like;
- headline
- engineering
- user
- her
The query is as below
SELECT I.indexIdentity
, I.webpageIdentity
, I.content
, I.indexDate
, MATCH ( I.content ) AGAINST ( '#form.searchString#' ) AS score
, W.universalResourceLocator
, W.title
FROM tbl_index I
INNER JOIN tbl_webpage W
ON I.webpageIdentity = W.webpageIdentity
WHERE MATCH ( I.content ) AGAINST ( '#form.searchString#' )
ORDER BY score DESC;
The content is text I gathered from our webpages, I am basically trying to
create a site search.
Any help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Taco Fleur
