Thread: Patch to contrib/fulltextindex/fti.sql
The fti.pl supplied with the fulltextindex module generate ALL possible substrings of two characters or greater, and is case-sensitive. This patch makes it work correctly. It generates only the suffixes of each word, plus lowercases them - as specified by the README file. This brings it into line with the fti.c function, makes it case-insensitive properly, removes the problem with duplicate rows being returned from an fti search and greatly reduces the size of the generated index table. It was written by my co-worker, Brett Toolin. Chris
