Hi Michael, Thanks for the response. I have tested this in our dev environment with Maria engine (MariaDB 5.1.47) and it works. MariaDB is really awesome. I agree with you, that I would use Sphinx or Solr as my last resort. Kind regards, Joshua On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 6:54 PM, Michael Widenius <monty@askmonty.org> wrote:

Hi all,
We are currently using MariaDB in one of our products. One thing that we are wondering, does Maria engine currently supports Fulltext search like MyISAM? If currently not implemented yet, will there be any plan to implement fulltext support in MariaDB?
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.
Yes, the Aria engine (the new name for Maria engine) supports same fulltext functionality as MyISAM.

Agree that for sophisticated indexing Sphinx (and maybe Solr, but I don't know that one that well) is a a better choice.
That said, if you have a working setup and MyISAM/Aria does the job, it's probably ok to continue using them. (Don't break a working setup :)
