RE: Fulltext doesn't seem to find certain text
That might be a word defined in the stopword file, excluding full text lookup on. Stop words are words like The As In If And so on.

Re: Fulltext doesn't seem to find certain text
A guess, its looking for that string. Maybe should be looking something like it example select * from table where var like '%foo%' -Blake joe mcguckin wrote: If I perform a fulltext search for 'foo', it won't match text like 'foo, inc'.

In addition to the other suggestions, make sure our ft_min_word_len isn't more than 2, because it won't index words shorter than that many characters. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mysql 3.23.52 Joe, By default MySQL has a 4 letter minimum for fulltext searches; words must be at least 4 letters in length otherwise they won't get added. Since you are using MySQL 3.23, you will need to recompile the binaries. With MySQL 4.x, you can simply change a variable in the configuration file and rebuild the fulltext indexes.
