Hi I have a table that need to be fulltext indexted. I have issued the appropriate command from the control panel, using: ALTER TABLE RawrTable ADD FULLTEXT(RawrField); HTML: But when I look at the table structure, it does not give me any clues if it is indexed or not. is there any way to check the table for FULLTEXT by issuing a command (prefebly from control panel). thanks for your time.
Hi thanks for your reply. I am abit new to php and mysql, I have done what you asked , but can not see any mention of FULLTEXT any where. What should I be looking for? ipbushes 0 PRIMARY 1 part_number A 218 NULL NULL BTREE ipbushes 1 Desc 1 Descr NULL 1 NULL NULL YES FULLTEXT ipbushes 1 Description 1 Descr NULL 1 NULL NULL YES FULLTEXT ipbushes 1 Description_2 1 Descr NULL 1 NULL NULL YES FULLTEXT ipbushes 1 Description_3 1 Descr NULL 1 NULL NULL YES FULLTEXT ipbushes 1 Description_4 1 Descr NULL 1 NULL NULL YES FULLTEXT HTML: all I get is this
Can't you see "FULLTEXT" there? You can test it with something like this: EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM `ipbushes` WHERE MATCH(`Desc`, `Description`, `Description_2`, `Description_3`, `Description_4`) AGAINST ('something' IN BOOLEAN MODE) LIMIT 1 Code (markup): If you see "FULLTEXT" under "type", you'll know it works.
Hi My apologies. Its there. For some reason I didn't spot it there!!! Time for opticians I think. Cheers
