Here is some code that you can modify. It's design to convert a
search string into a MySQL full text search string, not sure how
different pgsql is. It adds * for word expansion where appropriate.
It assume a space is the delimiter, but that's easy to change in the
explode statement.
Example:
"this is a search" -XXX Test
becomes
+"this is a search" -XXX* +Test*
Conversion function:
function prepFullTextSearch($searchVal) {
//Split words into list
$word_List = explode(' ',stripslashes(trim($searchVal)));
//Step through word list to get search phrases
$i = 0;
$isPhrase = false;
foreach($word_List as $word) {
$searchItems[$i] = trim(($isPhrase?$searchItems[$i].' '.$word:
$word));
//Check for start of Phrase
if(substr($searchItems[$i],0,1) == '"') {
$isPhrase = true;
}
//If not building a phrase, append wildcard (*) to end of word
if(!$isPhrase) {
$searchItems[$i] .= '*';
$i++;
}
//Check for end of Phrase
if(substr($searchItems[$i],-1) == '"') {
$isPhrase = false;
$i++;
}
}
$searchVal = '+'.implode(' +',$searchItems);
$searchVal = str_replace('+-','-',$searchVal);
return $searchVal;
}

Hello PHP-Gurus,
I have already ask this on php-de and pgsql-pgp but unfortunatly
gotten no answer.
I have a search form and I like to add advanced search options like
"this is a search" -XXX Test
which mean,
1) "this is a search" must be in this order
2) -XXX Do not find XXX contents
3) Test AND
Does anyone has a PHP/PGSQL code sniplet?
Thanks
Michelle
