Querying "C++" not working....

[aoneill]

Hi,

I've got LIKE queries switched off and am having problems if I enter the text C++ in the search box - basically it doesn't find any results. I have set ft_min_word_len to 2 and other 3 character searches are working OK. I've tried "C++", C++, +"C++" etc. all to no avail.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi, when you have LIKE queries turned off, the MATCH AGAINST queries take over so MySQL then treats special characters such as + and - as delimiters so queries such as C++ and t-shirt do not return results.
