I think I need to clarify :
The fulltext indexing & searching here works great.
The search completes in good time, but then I want it in a different
order, as described by index1 down below. This resorting step is the one
that takes forever, not the fulltext search.
So essentially, a FORCE INDEX(
Have you tried adding force index on your fulltext index?
Something similar to this:
select field1,field2,field3 from table FORCE INDEX(index2)
where field1='something'
and field2='something_else'
and field3='something_more'
and match(field4) against ('word1 word2' in boolean mode)
orde
