2011-11-02 Thread Ram Moskovitz
Hey folks,
Looks like MySQL has FTS built in :

Is this supported by RT 4.0x?
Thanks!

No.  That fulltext indexing is only on MyISAM tables, which are not used
in RT because they lack transaction isolation.  RT 4 only supports
fulltext indexing on mysql using the external Sphinx engine, until
InnoDB fulltext indexing is integrated into mysql.
  There is ongoing work on this support (see [1], [2]) but it isn't in a
released version yet.

No quite, I believe. Oracle just announced InnoDB fulltext
search vailability in a preview release of MySQL 5.6. Version
5.5 only supports fulltext-search with MYISM tables, and not
with InnoDB tables which are used by RT. So maybe next year...
fingers crossed.
