Re: full text query on lookup table

FULLTEXT is not useful here.

To find books about cats or dogs...
SELECT b.title
   FROM books b
   JOIN types t  ON b.Category = t.Type
   WHERE t.Keyword IN ('Cat', 'Dog');

Hmmm... This is probably not what you are asking. And maybe the schema is not right.

Please rephrase your question, more along the non-db lines, like "find books about cats or dogs".

The problem is that you might have an Animal book that talks only about snakes. Your schema cannot distinguish this case; any query will find all the Animal books even when asking only for Cats and Dogs.
