#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'desc)' at line 1

Answer 1

if desc is a column name, then you should try backticks around it as it is a reserved word in MySQL:

ALTER TABLE files ADD FULLTEXT(title, `desc`);
