Full Text Searching

Post by tdmrider »

Hi. When attempting a full-text search (with a suitablably indexed mysql database), is there a full-text (boolean?) equivalent of LIKE '%abcd%' The wildcard character * does not do the same thing ie words containing 'abcd'. Any advice would be much appreciated. tdm

Thanks Christopher. There just doesn't seem an easy answer to this one. It appears that others are having the same problem. I will keep looking. Thanks again. tdm
