Both full text and normal index to the same field

[lance]

Hi

I had a normal KEY INDEX on one VARCHAR field
I then added a FULLTEXT KEY to the same field.

I wonder if I should now remove the normal KEY INDEX
as obsolete or leave it? Can I expect the FULLTEXT index
to behave just like normal KEY index (if using without
the match operation)? Would there be some performance
difference in this respect?

thanks,
Lance
