But (after you chose the table.primary_key) could you see fields for the
table you chose? Or, just the same fields whichever "table.primary_key"
you selected.
Also, the length of the "name for the index" was severly limited (about 10
chars?)

Still, I don't really see what I should use this for (it may dawn upon me
later, though).
Maybe I should just specify the shortest field, or the PK.


I've been using a form of homebrew FTS for some years, and wondered whether
I should convert to the IBO version. Maybe I should wait a bit.
