Fulltext search against column value?

Question

I've read this:

MySQL Fulltext search against column value?

but it is absurd, i don't understand why it is not possible doing this.

anyone knowing some workaround?

thanks

This is my old procedure, try something like this in your case too-

BEGIN
  declare done default 0;
  declare csv1 varchar(100);
  declare cur1 cursor for select csv from table; 
  DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done=1;
  open cur1;
  repeat
  fetch cur1 into csv1;
  -
  -
  -
  -
  update company set (something) where match(csv) against(concat("'",csv1,"'"));
  until  done end repeat;
  -
  -
  close cur1;
  select * from table;
END
