lemmin Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I typed your error into google and this was the first result: http://www.iwebsupport.com/know/article.php?id=004 I don't know if that is the specific source you are using, but it mentions that you need to have a field in your database called "fulltext."
