Greetings all, I just serached the records and found this topic. This nearly answers my question but not completely. I have a search field and a class that I found that will explode queries into an array based on boolean values and such. Which is great so I get all the words a person is searching on and in what way. However I am not clear on the best way to query MySQL. I want to search over four fields in 2 different tables. Based on what I read below there is an easy way to do with with MySQL but I am not familiar with it. Can someone enlighten me on this, it sounds just like what I need. -- Blessed Be Phillip "Ben Edwards" <funkytwig@xxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:32b873ff05012004152c1cb9b4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > This kind of depends on what database you are using (I am asuming you > mean you have a data driven site you want to search so strictly > speaking it is the database that you want to search). > > Mysl has free text search facilities (i.e. you can pass it a number of > words and it can search for them in a set of database fields and even > kreates a 'ranking'). however this only works if you have a few > hundread records - less than this and the results are unpredictable. > > Have you tries googeling for php search scripts? > > Ben > > On Thu, 20 Jan 2005 14:04:44 +0200, Rosen <rosen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > Can someone recommend me a search engine script in PHP for inside one site? > > > > Thanks in advance! > > Rosen > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > > > > > -- > Ben Edwards - Poole, UK, England > WARNING:This email contained partisan views - dont ever accuse me of > using the veneer of objectivity > If you have a problem emailing me use > http://www.gurtlush.org.uk/profiles.php?uid=4 > (email address this email is sent from may be defunct) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
