I've never gotten the boolean features to work with version 4.0.1-alpha of
MySQL. 
Also the database will crash with some queries where some of the search
words are the same as words in the stopword list (myisam/ft_static.c in the
sourcecode)

Download the 4.0.2 source and compile it. 
Things seem to work a lot better with the 4.0.2. And it won't crash with
special combinations of words :)

Subject: Re: fulltext searching 


hi all...

i can't seem to get the fulltext searching working perfectly... single
search terms it works fine, multiple search terms it also seems to be ok -
finding records with any of the search terms.
however, if i try the boolean mode it gives out garbage all the time. i try
for example an sql query like this:
select * from mytable where match(file_text) against('+findthis +andthis
-notthis' in boolean mode);

various variants of this never find the records, or find ALL the records in
the database... when such filters should throw out a couple of records at
least.
i'm running mysql 4.0.1-alpha on freebsd...  and i've set up the tables for
fulltext indexes.

is this still heavy work-in-progress or should it work? does it work for
anyone?


thanks,

marko
