*Sigh* Since when do wildcards work with the fulltext index?

Besides, there are characters beside a space wich can delimit words. 
Three examples: Commas. Line breaks. The start of the actual data. If 
you really want words, use "rlike" and \<...\> (assuming that MySQL 
can do egrep-like escapes). But it'll be dirt slow compared to the 
fulltext index.
