Re: MySQL 4.0, FULL-TEXT Indexing and Search Arabic Data, Unicode

I decided to prepare two different versions for my software: - A MySQL 4.0-friendly version using Romanizing method (Hats off to you, Ehsan) - A MySQL 4.1-compatible version.The code you mentioned belongs to the 2nd version." SET NAMES indicates what is in the SQL statements that the client sends. Thus, SET NAMES 'cp1251' tells the server future incoming messages from this client are in character set cp1251. It also specifies the character set for results that the server sends back to the client. (For example, it indicates what character set column values are if you use a SELECT statement.)

Dear list,
I'm considering programming a simple "Search Engine" for a website,
to find Arabic/Persian data within a MySQL database.
This database contains a huge amount of data, encoded with
Unicode(UTF-8).
The big deal is to ** reduce the response time ** to end-users.
My first solution is to create an Index and use the "FULL-TEXT
Searching" method.
Luckily, MySQL's provides FULL-TEXT Indexing support in MyISAM tables.
But unfortunately, it doesn't support multi-byte charsets (e.g.
Unicode). [1]
Technically, MySQL creates Indexes over words.
A "word'' is any sequence of characters consisting of letters and
numbers [2].
Assuming this, I tried to save the records as Unicode Character
References (&#;), but the search failed again :-(
Any suggestion?
I appreciate any solution to solve this problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Behzad

I think this is your problem: MySQL does not properly support Unicode
until version 4.1. I am successfully using FullText with MySQL 4.1 to sort
UTF-8 encoded Japanese text. I see no reason why it should not work for
Arabic - if you upgrade.
