I have a full text indexed table set up with the data Family in it. There is no White Space and the spelling is correct. How can I make this query match results as score and display them by score in DESC order? I keep getting empty set and don't know why. SELECT *, MATCH(MEDIA_TITLE) AGAINST('Family') AS SCORE FROM MEDIA_DATA_VIDS WHERE MATCH(MEDIA_TITLE) AGAINST('Family') ORDER BY SCORE DESC ;
