when you create the full text index, make sure to name it the same as the column you are indexing
my example assumes the table is named "tblName" and the index is named "column"
it also assumes the search form uses the POST method and the search term element is named "searchitem"
create the following recordset in advanced mode:
SELECT *
FROM tbleName
WHERE MATCH(column) AGAINST(paramSearchItem IN BOOLEAN MODE)
in the variables section, create a new variable as:
name: paramSearchItem
Type: Text
Default Value: -1
Runtime Value: $_POST['searchitem']
in the past, I have had mixed results doing full text searches this way.
