As most people already know, MySQL has FullText indexing built into it, so
why is mysql.com using MnoGoSearch? (There is an icon "Powered by
MnoGoSearch" on the search page.)
1) Is there something wrong with MySQL's FullText search for handling a lot
of data?
Not at all.
2) Is MnoGoSearch better?
Well, it does understand HTML, so it is able to index the HTML content
of our sites more intelligently than MySQL's full-text search could.
3) Why isn't MySQL using their own Full Text search engine?
We do, just not for the full-text search of our sites. (It is used in
the first set of documentation links that are presented with some
searches, and for the search on http://solutions.mysql.com/.)
Also, mnoGoSearch uses MySQL for its index storage.
