i think i just tried just about everything and still having problems with full text search. I have tried to run a query withing phpmyadmin to see if it will work .. and guess what ... a big nothing.
Query is being executed without a problem but no results are being displayed. Not sure why this is not working right. I will try to investigate this issue further .. but later on. I have to concentrate of other functions of the site.
For now i am using s very simple method of searching ... i guess you can call it that using LIKE string in MySQL statement, it works for now and it will not be a heavy trafic site ... for now i will just leave it at that and try to solve the issue with full text search later.
thanx for your help
greg
