<pre wrap=""><!---->Hi There
Just to throw in my 2 cents worth, i dont see using mysql fulltext searching
as ruling out db independence.
It just forces us to code more carefully, perhaps setting a value in
/etc/koha.conf usefulltext=yes or the like. Which we can then use to decide
whether to make a standard like search, or to use a fulltext index.</pre>

BUT : the standard like search is UNUSEABLE on a 50 000+ biblio DB, as every
search means a full parsing of the table.<br>
If you add the same thing for the thesaurus table, which is widely used in
marc cataloguing, and some other place where full text indexing will be usefull...<br>

<pre wrap="">I think database independence is a laudible aim, but id hate to see it rule
out potential optimisations also. There is a always a tradeoff and its a
matter of balance.
