Re: Searching the Docs
Thanks for your suggestion of searching the docs offline. I already had the HTML ones on my laptop, so it was a small step.

RE: Searching the Docs
Lou, I normally download the html version of the manual and have a little search feature just for it. And you are correct, I've looked for a few of your examples and can't find any information on them besides you can turn them on or off basically. Not in the mood to bust out the code to figure out exactly what they do though. Sorry.

Re: Searching the Docs
I use the online docs extensively as I am still very much in learning mode with MySQL. However, I've been frustrated recently because it appears I cannot search for an EXACT string literal, which brings me back a ton of hits I don't want. For example, I'm trying to search for the dynamic system variable called convert_character_set, but it returns results with "convert" or "set" etc., when I only want to see hits for the exact string. Is there a search type I can use, or some quoting system, or anything that will allow me to search in this manner? I've got several dynamic variables that I cannot find definitions for: convert_character_set error_count slave_compressed_protocol sql_big_tables sql_low_priority_updates sql_max_join_size sql_slave_skip_counter warning_count Thanks, Lou
