mysql full text searching presentation
June 7, 2006
I’m doing a small presentation for our local Mysql User Group tonight, and the topic is full text searching. While doing a bit of research, I came across a few useful sites:
- http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mysql/article.php/3512461
- http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000576.html
- http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/tutorial-ferrara1.php
The first one is an in-depth analysis of how the full-text algorithm works - definitely worth reading up on. The other two give demonstrations of the ‘IN BOOLEAN MODE’ which is something I might start using in some projects I offer search on. What might be even nicer is to only use it if a + or - appears in the search string.
