is it possible to use the '%' in a match .. against statement? I keep getting resultsets with only whole-word matches, for example the statement select * from table_x where match(field_y) against ("%multi%"); does not give back the rows where field_y (which is a TEXT field with a FULLTEXT index) contains the word "multitasking" why???? mfg Walter Pachl mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +43-1-961 01 20 Fax: +43-1-961 01 21 A-1040 Wien, Margaretenstra?e 45 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
