Re: Re: need help with MySQL full text searching!!!!

Hi James so what you are saying is that if I am not running mysql 4.0.10-gamma then the full text search wont work. Strange because if I run the full text search on both full text indexed fields I get the correct resultset, however I only want to do a full text search on a column at a time, let me explain why: because I have a title field and an abstract field which are both full text, but i give the user the option of either searching for the title or the abstract thats why I have them both full text indexed but would only like to query 1 at a time. So I am still not sure what to do.Could you please give me more advice. thanx in Advance Angelo ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Rodenkirch" <jamesr@ez-net.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 6:27 PM Subject: [PHP] Re: need help with MySQL full text searching!!!! > You need to use mysql 4.0.10-gamma for full text searching to work > > Angelo Zanetti wrote: > > > Hi > > > > I have a table which contains 3 fields (ID, Title, Abstract) the title and abstract fields have been fulltext indexes like this: > > > > ALTER TABLE biblio ADD FULLTEXT (title,abstract); > > > > that worked fine, however my problem is whenever I want to do a select statement only comparing 1 of the columns to inputted data ( in a Select statement): > > > > $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title) AGAINST ('$searchString')"); > > > > It gives me this error: Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list. It appears that i cant just compare a single fulltext indexed column if there are other fulltext indexed columns. When I try it with both columns then it works but I just want to compare 1 column. eg: > > $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title, abstract) AGAINST ('$searchString')"); > > > > So is there anyway that I can just compare 1 column with text entered? Do I have t make some sort of temporary table to do this? All the examples I have found show the select statement with 2 columns or if they use 1 coumn its because there is only 1 column in their table. > > > > Any help would be appreciated! > > > > TIA > > > > Angelo > > > > ps. sorry that this may be a bit off topic > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
