Well after some pondering I found a pretty easy work around:
SELECT main.id, description, maincat.name, subcat.name from main
LEFT JOIN maincat ON maincat.id=main.maincatid
LEFT JOIN subcat ON subcat.id=main.subcatid
WHERE MATCH (description) AGAINST ('keywords')
OR
WHERE MATCH (maincat.name)
Thanks Paul,
I figured that was the answer. Do I need to perform a second and third
query from my related tables with a join back to the 'main' table?
Example:
select main.id, main.description, maincat.name, subcat.name from main LEFT
JOIN maincat ON main.maincatid=maincat.id LEFT JOIN subcat

hold an index number from to other tables maincat and subcat. These table
