Clear and to the point. Thank you.

From the MySQL documentation that I have seen, it is not clear to me whether the following limitations also apply IN BOOLEAN MODE:
- words of 3 letters are not taken into account;
- words are composed of letters, digits, hyphens and underscores and this cannot be customized easily.

PhpDig considers words as composed of letters, digits, points, hyphens, underscores, ampersands and slashes isn't it? And as it is open source, I guess it must not be hard to change that?

Has anyone tried to compare the indexing and/or searching speed of PhpDig's keyword method against using MySQL 4's FULLTEXT + IN BOOLEAN MODE?
