Full text search containing email address

[Craig Chapman]

I have mysql community 5.6.13 on 2 mac laptops - one with os x 10.8 and another with os x 10.9.

As far as I can tell, the installations of mysql are the same but the same full text search behaves differently on each installation.

The query I have is:

select legal_matter.* from legal_matter left join user_account on user_account.id = legal_matter.lawyer_id left join client_account on client_account.id = legal_matter.client_account_id where user_account.username = '[e-mail]' AND (MATCH(legal_matter.question) AGAINST ('[e-mail]' IN BOOLEAN MODE) or legal_matter.display_name like '[e-mail]%' or client_account.company_name like '[e-mail]%');

On the laptop with 10.8, the query executes normally, on the laptop with 10.9, the query complains:

Error Code: 1064. syntax error, unexpected '@', expecting $end

I have no idea if it has anything to do with the different OS versions, I suspect not but am at a loss as to what the issue is.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Thanks.
