Here is the workaround that I used. - If the search term is smaller than 3 words, I did a LIKE. - If the search term is greater than 3 words, do a fulltext search i.e. MATCH AGAINST (no BOOLEAN MODE) - If the fulltext search did not find any results, do the search again, but this time use LIKE instead of MATCH AGAINST. This gave me good enough results. -- Raj Shekhar Y! : Operations Engineer MySQL DBA, programmer and slacker Y!IM : lunatech3007 home : http://rajshekhar.net blog : http://rajshekhar.net/blog/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
