Re: How to use Full text search?

I break up the search words using a function and then build a query based on the search criteria. If it is multiple words, I use REGEXP for the search.( I use a mysql database). then when there are multiple searches you can format the query string like.... SELECT show_name FROM table_of_shows WHERE show_name REGEXP 'simpsons|sienfield' using the LIKE you can do the same thing....using a function to break up the query string... SELECT show_name FROM table_of_shows WHERE show_name like '%simpsons%' OR show_name like '%sienfeld%' etc.... Hope this helps.

If you have any solution, please send it to me. Thanx again.
