This should be a piece of cake to those of you veterans, but to someone like me who knows hardly anything about programming, I can only scratch my head.

In the installation instructions text file that comes with the trip_search module, it says that I have to "Enable MySQL full text indexing, by running the sql in full_text_indices.mysql. This will add special "full text" indices to the node and taxonomy tables."

How do I go about enabling the full_text_indices.mysql file? I really appreciate it if someone could give me more detailed clues.

Thanks in advance.

You need to use a front-end administration tool for MySQL. On most sites that I know, the site hoster offers access to PHPMyAdmin. When in PHPMyAdmin, select the database where you want to create the indexes, then click on the "SQL" tab. Copy/paste the lines in the full_text_indices.mysql file that have the "create index" commands, and press "GO". That should build your indexes ok.
I should really put all this into the installer one day...

Hi Joel,

Yes, could you please put this in an installer. Anxiously waiting.

I put together a trip_search.install file. I'll commit it when I get CVS access.
