Hi, I am working on a web project project where one of my pages has to show a count of total number of matches found and short text for few of them, just like a search engine.
I need to issue two queries first one fetches a count for total matches found and second query finds detail to 10/20 of those results as specified by the user. the quries are select count(distinct CURL) as rc from tbl_directory where MATCH (CName,DSCR) AGAINST ("software project management" ) and LinkType = 1 (Time Taken for Total Count :: 207.27026605606) select distinct CURL,CName,DSCR, MATCH (CName,DSCR) AGAINST ("software project management" ) as rel from tbl_directory where MATCH (CName,DSCR) AGAINST ("software project management" ) and LinkType = 1 limit 0, 10 (0.26 seconds) first query always takes much longer time whenever I search for something new, n in subsequent searches the result is quite satisfactory (as it comes from query cache) is there anyway to speed up the search, im querying some 2 million records. thanx in adavnce Asif Iqbal Cool Things Happen When Mac Users Meet!
