mysql full text

[AN-net]

ok its giving me the error can not find fulltext index in column list. but in phpmyadmin its listed under indexes as fulltext.

here is my code:

$query['where'] = "MATCH (news.news_title,news.news_text) AGAINST ('".addslashes($searchfor)."') AND news_active=1";


that is my where query

also does it automatically order them by relevancy and how do i change those relevancy values to percentages?

[WhSox21]

When MATCH() is used in a WHERE clause, as in the preceding example, the rows returned are automatically sorted with the highest relevance first.To change it to percentages just add the code to the SELECT list along with the WHERE clause. It also states that this causes no extra overhead as MySQL notices the two MATCH() functions and only does the fulltext search once.

thanks but why doesn't it perform the search if i have the indexes and i have optimized/repaired the table afterwards...

can't you use $query['where'] = "WHERE (news.news_title LIKE '%" . addslashes($searchfor) . "%' OR news.news_text LIKE '%" . addslashes($searchfor) . "%') AND new_active=1;

yes but full text is more accurate and retrieves better results;)
