Thanks for the quick reply! Actually I read through that page before and I tried it and still nothing....
mysql> SELECT ID FROM emails WHERE MATCH(h_subject, body) AGAINST ('V000*');
Empty set (0.00 sec)any good reason why that wouldn't work?
Thanks again,
Daniel

Full text searching searches by word, not by pieces of a word. If the word is 'V000111121' you won't find it by searching for 'V000'.
You can, however, use an asterisk at the end for a wildcard:
SELECT ID FROM emails WHERE MATCH(h_subject, body) AGAINST ('V000*');
