8 rows in set (0.00 sec)

when i write the query as..

mysql> select * from articles where match(`body`) against('database');

+----+-------------------+------------------------------------------+
| id | title             | body                                     |

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

the result is as expected.

but when i issue the query as 

mysql >select * from articles where match(`body`) against('following' in boolean mode);
Empty set (0.00 sec)

why it shows empty set as there is record corresponding to the query.

I have Full text index on body.

mysql> show create table articles\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: articles
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `articles` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `title` varchar(200) DEFAULT NULL,
  `body` text,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  FULLTEXT KEY `body` (`body`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=9 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
