Not at all. > 2) Is MnoGoSearch better? Well, it does understand HTML, so it is able to index the HTML content of our sites more intelligently than MySQL's full-text search could. > 3) Why isn't MySQL using their own Full Text search engine? We do, just not for the full-text search of our sites. (It is used in the first set of documentation links that are presented with some searches, and for the search on http://solutions.mysql.com/.) Also, mnoGoSearch uses MySQL for its index storage.
