[Mediawiki-l] Enabeling Full Text Searching

[Andrew Reberry]

Hi,

 

I would really like full text indexing to be installed so advanced searching
would be possible.  However, the database dump I used has the table 'cur' as
a table type of 'InnoDB'.  If I'm not mistaken, fulltext indexes can only be
created on tables of type MyISAM, correct?

 

If so, are there any problems with switching from a table type of InnoDB to
MyISAM?  Or am I possibly barking up the complete wrong tree here?  (Is the
"Search" button on MediaWiki supposed to return fulltext results from the
get-go?)

 

Thanks for pointers.  I am going to continue to research this on my own, but
figure someone on here can at least tell me if I'm looking in the right
direction.

 

Andrew
