As mentioned in another post desc is a reserved work and needs to be
enclosed in back ticks like `desc`.
Also, your select still won't return any rows because you are searching
for 'usb' which is three characters and the default minimum word length
for fulltext searches is 4 characters.
You may want to read:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html
and
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Fine-tuning.html
If you need to search for 3 character words, you need change your
my.cnf file to contain the following:
set-variable = ft_min_word_len=3
And restart the MySQL server.
