Full text Searching on C#, C++

2005-01-07 Thread Brent Baisley
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get this to work. I've set the 
minimum word length to 2, restarted MySQL and rebuilt the indexes, but 
can't seem to get this to work. Is it because MySQL is not indexing # 
and ++? I can't seem to find a setting to alter this behavior. The only 
other thing I can think of is that I need to escape # and ++, but any 
of the normal escape character I've tried don't seem to do anything.

Thanks

I think Fulltext indexes only words which consist of A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and _ . 
I don't think is has any escape behaviour at all, and no control other 
than the word length.

A feature that I would like would be to be able to define the set of 
characters which constitute a word. In my case, I would like to consider 
video timecodes (form hh:mm:ss:ff) to be words, so that I would like : 
to be regarded as a letter.
