Need clarification on FullText information

I am using SHOW INDEX on one of my tables that I have a FULLTEXT index
on.

Table: article
non_unique: 1
key_name: THEARTICLE
seq_in_index: 1
column_name: THEARTICLE
collation: A
Cardinality: NULL
sub_part: 1
packed: NULL
comment: FULLTEXT
I read that sub_part means:

"The prefix length in bytes, if only a prefix of the column is
indexed. This is NULL if the entire column is indexed."

So is this telling me that my FULLTEXT index is only looking at the
first byte of information. I thought that when you use FULLTEXt
indexing it indexes the entire thing. Somebody please explain! Thanks.

Relevancy scores are normally defined by a MySQL query on a table that has a fulltext index. The rules for relevancy scoring will exclude certain words due to their being too short (minimum default is 4 letters). This is the Fed. Everything is a TLA (three-letter acronym). Therefore, since I'm building a PORTABLE web application, changing MySQL's default settings for fulltext index querying is completely undoable and unrealistic, so...

The table already has a fulltext index and from there I can use the MySQL fulltext search query to get results as well as the relevancy score. The problem I have is that MySQL has a default setting whereby the minimum amount of characters is 4 for a search. Being that we're government and full of TLA (three-letter acronyms), that is not practical, and furthermore, the app I'm building must be fully portable, so having MySQL tweaked...

Retracing my problem leads me to believe I never successfully created fulltext indexes for MySQL 3.23.58 MyISAM tables.

Show full header Is there any way to make relevance when using boolean mode more useful? If not, are there plans in the Fulltext development "todo" for making it useful? I'm thinking of just counting the keyword occurences in records with a PHP script somehow and using that to order the records somehow. Or doing a non boolean fulltext search w/relevance first and then melding that in somehow with a boolean search. See my results...

I have a large contacts table with about 30 columns of text fields and 5 fulltext indexes spanning the different sections of the table. I'm curious if anyone could suggest a better way to find rows in the table based on text entered by the user. It also would be nice if wildcards could be supported like "beginning*". The query I have built crashed mysqlnt-d a few times but I was unable to determine what triggered the crash. I believe it...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
