But that's not what I would like to do. Set up FULLTEXT index only on column note or on note and author. j> When I see the error message, I tried to create an other index: j> ALTER TABLE data ADD key(note); j> error 1170: BLOB column 'note' used in key specification without a key length Please, check our manual. If you want to create index on TEXT ot BLOB column, you must index only prefix of the column, not the whole column. http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/n/Indexes.html j> I have the same problem with IN BOOLEAN MODE. j> I'm using MySQL 3.23.51 You can use full-text search with IN BOOLEAN MODE in 4.0.1 j> What should I do to use the FULLTEXT search in the desired number of fields? You should create FULLTEXT indexes on those columns that you plan to use in your SQL statements: http://www.mysql.com/doc/F/u/Fulltext_Search.html -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
