first off... how do you know you are a computer geek?
     to look for s_e_x in your database, and if you can't find it,
recompile it *EEEK* :)

For the rest, I am afraid, I cannot really help you, as I don't really get
the problem at hand...

I have a bit of a problem with using freetext indexes because there are a
LOT of important 3 letter words in my database and as I am using shared
hosting so do not have the option to recompile MySql.  Can't quite figure
why 3 is not the default (car, dog, cat war, man, bed, ....).  Maybe so you

would have to recompile to be able to find s_e_x ;).

The other thing I cant figure out is how much data you need for it to
actually work well.  There is a reference in the manual saying it works
better on bigger data sets but no indication as to what it means by big.

Anyway, this means I am looking for an alternative which can be implemented

on php4.  Has anyone any suggestions?

Also in the manual it mentions freetext search
