I'm guessing that the way MySQL handles foreign language full text indexing is through parser plug-ins and custom stop word lists. Am I right? And If so, these must have been already created for the common western languages such as German, French etc. Where can I find these plug-ins? Is there any MySQL or third party documentation that anyone knows of that can help me out. I'm evaluating MySQL for an application doing full text indexing and searching of English and many different foreign language documents. Catherine Macheret
