Folks.

I have just started learning about Full Text search in SQlite, and I have some questions

1) With the Amalgamated Sqlite, I guess to enable FTS I just #define SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS2 at the start of sqlite3.c
Is there anything else I have to do to switch it on ?

2) If I want to do a full text (google style) search across 6 columns in my database, what is the procedure? Currently I conjor up a long SQL query with lots of ands and ors. What is to be gained using FTS ?

3) It seems that FTS is basically a special table. Do I have to fill this table in parallel with my regular columns ? (so its in sync) or do I recreate the FTS table on every search ? Or do I just fill the FTS table on its own, and stop using my regular tables altogether ?

thanks for any general insight for folks just starting to look at Full Text Search

Cheers
