i probably have some misconceptions about full-text search but i was
hoping that i'd be able to search for something like '*com* *tion*',
i.e., find rows containing BOTH of the partial words like 'company
duration', 'accompanying action', 'compositions'.  yes, Virginia,
full-text search is not partial-text search.  except perhaps for
single-word searches in boolean mode.  in which case LIKE or INSTR will
work just as well.  or are there advantages in using boolean mode
full-text instead of LIKE/INSTR for single-word partial searches?

thanks,
