Hi, Sorry, I guess this is yet another question for Sergei! :-)
Since the full-text search TODO in the manual is a little vague (and hasn't been updated much) and it was kind of a "surprise" when multi-byte character-set support was added to 4.1 a couple months ago, I'm wondering what "surprises" will be coming next? ;-) I call MB char-set support a surprise because it was just there all of a sudden without hearing anything right beforehand. Though maybe it's an exception since it's needed for compatibility with 4.1's per table, etc. char-sets. Anyway, I wish the manual's TODO could be updated with a more detailed "road map." But maybe no more details are known. :-( I know it's hard to give dates, but in relative time, or such and such order would be nice. Basically I'm really wondering what, if any more, improvements will be added to 4.1 -- say, before it's declared Production? The biggest little thing I've been hoping for is more control over the minimum word length! I'd like to be able to set it on a per table basis (in CREATE/ALTER), if not per index. It seems like this would be simple to add with 4.1's extended .frm files (if they're even needed for this). But what do I know? :-) And if not, it'd be nice for the default min_word_len to be lowered to 3 -- not sure what Sergei said about this. Besides, hasn't the default max_word_len been lowered to 80-something? Per table/index stopword file is probably not so simple. And I'm sure stemming is a ways off. Just very curious about ANY coming improvements, besides what I mentioned. Any more information that you can give us about anything (and/or put in the manual)? If not, that's OK. :-/ Keep up the good work! Regards, Matt -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
