MySQL FULLTEXT Searching (O'ReillyNet)

Joe Stump shows how to do FULLTEXT searching with MySQL. "Have you ever wanted to search text stored in your database, but couldn't figure out how to do it efficiently? Are you lazy like me and don't enjoy maintaining reverse indexes, dictionaries, and word scores? You're in luck. The release of MySQL 4.0 has made searching text stored in databases available to the masses."
