Andy and all, > wow! Sven's idea works just great! Yes, isn't it great?!! You can actually extend it even further and even implement boolean expressions. I remember a great article somewhere (let me see whether I can dig it up from somewhere). Ok, here it is: http://www.evolt.org/article/Boolean_Fulltext_Searching_with_PHP_and_MyS QL/18/15665/index.html I have used a really similar approach by many sites and it has worked great so far. There are downsides to it compared to "SELECT id,name FROM art WHERE content LIKE '%string%'" (speed), but the advantages surely beat the living crap out of this (unless you get three billion-zillion-gazillion hits per day). Enjoy! Thanks, Lauri -- Tharapita Creations [server-client web applications] lauri.vain@tharapita.com http://www.tharapita.com/ Mobile: +372 53 410 610
