mysql howto: multibyte fulltext index?

anything alternative method, while it's only in mysql todo list?

[Xuefer]

it's very slow to do a LIKE "%...%"

Try using MATCH AGAINST. It is a bit faster but gives wrong results with 2 bytes ( I tried with Arabic and it mixes letters)

Have a look at this URL
[mysql.com...]

[Xuefer]

it will only works on English-like language, which it's words separated by space
not for Chinese language "ThisIsATest"

Dear Xusfer
it is not only the limiters. For Arabic Language it mixes between letters also. I do not know why and I post a note on mysql about it long ago
It might need local developers to take care of this.
