[RESOLVED] Pl help...problem with boolean full text search

[pradee]

Hi!

I use MySql boolean full text search for searching and i allow user to search for phrases with 'and' and 'or' operators in it, but it doesn't work for certain words, like 'use' and 'due'. Search ignores these words.

Well, 'use' is a full-text stop word, but why 'due'? Is it because it's a 3 letter word or something?

Can someone please explain to me how to overcome this problem or is there any better search engine for me to use with php & MySql?

Have a nice day!

Thanks & regards.

yes, full text search works with more than three characters.

You can also change the minimum word length and the stop word list - look through the manual for details on how to do that.
