It should be a drop down menu with a bunch of database names and how many tables there are in round brackets.
When you select a database, phpMyAdmin opens it in the right hand side of the screen.
Find the big edit box and put the query in there.
Then submit :p.

Dave.

PS: If this is not what it looks like to you, I'm afraid you're not talking about phpMyAdmin.

I'm quite sure it's phpMyAdmin, considering the name, address, and title say so... LoL. But the thing is, WHICH LINK on the left do I have to click? I don't see any button that allows to drop, they're just 52 separate files. I'll click one, I'll get a page for that... Etc.

Ohhhhhh wait, now I understand what you're saying... The thing is, I don't have a textarea box in my left frame...

You're kidding, right?

No, seriously. There's no textarea box in my left frame.

Found it... 'nother problem. I ran the query, and got this:

Table Op Msg_type Msg_text
searchindex repair error 28 when writing to datafile
searchindex repair error 28 when writing to datafile
infin.searchindex repair status Operation failed

I can sort of imagine that means it didn't work, so, what do I do now?

I'm going through fixing this error now, and I've got to say, thank GOD I have a development database that I could grab the structure of the searchindex and word tables from (after dropping them, per filburt's instructions).

If you drop these tables, run a sql export of their structure first, because rebuilding the index isn't possible without the table's existence.
