MySQL gets blind!

Hi! On a site I'm developing I need to conduct boolean searches. I use a piece of code I found on: http://www.evolt.org/article/comment/18/15665/ and I've got to say it works really well. The problem is I cannot search for one specific word because, even though the word exists on several records, MySQL never returns any rows. The word I can't look for is "portaria". Any other word works just fine. I have tried every word I could think of and it works... except for that one: "portaria". Here is the syntax: SELECT *, match (titulo,estado,sumario,categoria,tipo,pachave) against (' portaria ') as relevance FROM dgf_net.dgf_lex WHERE match (titulo,estado,sumario,categoria,tipo,pachave) against ('portaria')>0 HAVING relevance>0 ORDER BY relevance DESC And here is a view of the table: Field Type Attributes Null Default Extra id int(11) No auto_increment insdata datetime No 0000-00-00 00:00:00 startdata datetime No 0000-00-00 00:00:00 area tinytext No autor varchar(255) No titulo varchar(255) No subtitulo varchar(255) No texto text No anexo tinytext No pachave varchar(255) No obs tinytext No activo char(1) No N validade datetime No 0000-00-00 00:00:00 imagem varchar(255) No cafe varchar(8) No Indexes : Keyname Type Cardinality Field PRIMARY PRIMARY 31 id id INDEX None id titulo FULLTEXT None titulo subtitulo texto 1 pachave I'm puzzled! Why is MySQL picky about this specific word? MySQL is 3.23.36 and PHP 4.0.4pl1 Any help is appreciated! :-) jcv :: cdb.pnorte.pt :: #26527125 :: :: 02-14-2002 21:12:07 :: :: A beer doesn't mind when your mother visits.
