That is what I am doing right now, but it is not that fast if this system would grow, and also it is not "ranking" the searches.
Right now I do something like this: $searchwords = explode(" ", $searchstring); foreach($searchwords AS $value) { $Query.= "OR lajlaj LIKE '%$value%'" } If there are many search words, the OR will grow a bit, and OR are not that fast as I read somewhere. /Peter -----Original Message----- From: JC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 10:46 PM To: Peter Lauri Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: FULL TEXT and Asian languages don't know about indexing, but try to search: LIKE '%sentences%' JC On Thu, 20 Jul 2006, Peter Lauri wrote: > Best group member, > > I have a problem.
