You need to use mysql 4.0.10-gamma for full text searching to work

Hi

I have a table which contains 3 fields (ID, Title, Abstract) the title and abstract fields have been fulltext indexes like this:

ALTER TABLE biblio ADD FULLTEXT (title,abstract);

that worked fine, however my problem is whenever I want to do a select statement only comparing 1 of the columns to inputted data ( in a Select statement):

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title) AGAINST ('$searchString')");

It gives me this error: Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list. It appears that i cant just compare a single fulltext indexed column if there are other fulltext indexed columns. When I try it with both columns then it works but I just want to compare 1 column. eg: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title, abstract) AGAINST ('$searchString')");

So is there anyway that I can just compare 1 column with text entered? Do I have t make some sort of temporary table to do this? All the examples I have found show the select statement with 2 columns or if they use 1 coumn its because there is only 1 column in their table.

Any help would be appreciated!

TIA

Angelo

ps. sorry that this may be a bit off topic
