I am running MySQL 4.0.12 on Windows XP. I am trying to create a library
database and have a table named "cardCatalo g" in the "library" database.
The cardCatalog has the following fields: callNumber (varchar(60)), title
(varchar(255)), author (varchar(255)), category (varchar(100)), location
(varchar(100)), copyrightDate(s mallInt(4) unsigned), numberOfPages
(smallInt(4) unsigned), and quantityAvailab le (smallInt(3) unsigned). I
have the following indexes on the table: Primary Key (callNumber), Fulltext
(title), Fulltext (author), and Fulltext (title, category). The Fulltext
(title,category ) is the index I seem to be having problems with. I have one
entry in the database with the category being "Computer programming,
programs, data". I try to execute the following query SELECT category,
title, author, callNumber, copyrightDate, location, numberOfPages,
quantityAvailab le FROM cardCatalog WHERE MATCH(title, category)
AGAINST("Comput er"); and it returns an empty set. It should return the
entry, but it does not. I cannot seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.
Could you please help me, any help would be very much appreciated.

This is because all words present in more than 50% of your records are
ignored.

In your case, you have only one record, so Computer is present in an least
50%.

Add at least 3 records to see if it works.
