Hi Wilbert, The error tells it all.. To be able to use FULLTEXT search you have to have FULLTEXT index on the column(s) that you want to perform FULLTEXT search..
See: http://www.mysql.com/doc/F/u/Fulltext_Search.html Gurhan -----Original Message----- From: Wilbert Enserink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WHERE MATCH () AGAINST ('%$search_string%')"; hi all, i'm new to this list. currently busy with mysql. I'm having troubles with the query string below. The part MATCH results in an error: Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list however it looks like i'm doing the query according to the manual. Anybody has any clue what's going wrong here? $query="SELECT * FROM gallery LEFT JOIN designers ON (designers.designersID=gallery.designersID) WHERE MATCH (gallery.productname, gallery.productnumber) AGAINST ('%$search_string%')"; thx.
