Description: We are running MySQL 5.1.26 in our production environment. We recently ran across what appears to be a bug related to performing searches against full-text indexes. We have a search term for which we wanted to find occurences of the word "oracle" with either of "db*" or "dbase*". The search term looked like this: SELECT id FROM indexed_table WHERE MATCH(full_text_indexed_column) AGAINST ('+oracle +(dbase* db*)' IN BOOLEAN MODE); The query would hang the database process every time. After random poking around we discovered that the following query WORKED (note that the order of the two wildcard search terms is reversed): SELECT id FROM indexed_table WHERE MATCH(full_text_indexed_column) AGAINST ('+oracle +(db* dbase*)' IN BOOLEAN MODE); We have the minimum word length set to 3 for full text indexing, and we think this is somehow related but aren't sure how or why. (We recognize that the search terms are redundant, and have since repaired the query, but thought we should bring the hanging problem to your attention.) How to repeat: Do a query on a full-text indexed column as described above. Suggested fix: We aren't sure. Seems related to the minimum word-size, and to having redundant wildcard search terms in the same query.
