MySQL: Something wrong with Fulltext search - Returning NO results

Question

I have a table places(name vachar(50), address text, description text) engine = MYISAM and few records.

I have been trying to do some example in here!,

Answer 1

I had the same issue, the query was working in the past and suddenly my tests started failing. I managed to isolate the query and indeed, it didn't returned any results. I was using boolean mode so the 50% rule could not have caused the issue.

I solved the issue by running:

OPTIMIZE TABLE organizations; # replace table name

I think sometimes the MySQL index stops working when you have a lot of writes / deletes. Weird that I didn't got an error instead.
