I have a support system set up where people can search for various things using a fulltext index. The problem that I am having, though, is that I cannot seem to figure out how to get search results for values like "10.2.4" or "6.0.4". This is with MySQL 4.0.12, with the minimum word length of 3 (so we can search for PHP, IIS, etc).
Here are some examples of how the search is being performed:
select id,topic from articles where match(topic,summary,description) against ('10.2.4');
(no results)
select id,topic from articles where match(topic,summary,description) against ('"10.2.4"' in boolean mode);
(no results)
select id,topic from articles where topic like '%10.2.4%' or summary like '%10.2.4%' or description like '%10.2.4%';
(3 rows found)
I don't really want to do the last search because it's the slowest, and searching the most data un-indexed.
Anyway, if anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it.
Adam.
