Fulltext matching

Is there any way in PHP and MySQL to find out the most used words in a full text index? Is there access to the index? In the index I want to show the words that occur the most in descending order limit 50. In addition, is there any way to search for, without boolean (using 3.23.??), words in a row? I've tried searching for "print pal" (which I know exists) but only get print and pal returned as two separate words, and since pal is 3 letters or less, it isn't indexed. This doesn't work: select id, match(body) against ('"print pal"') from body where match(body) against ('"print pal"'); Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy beckman@purplecow.com http://www.purplecow.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
