say someone enters a search string of "cat dog mouse rabbit" (without the qoutes) into my search box. What I need for the results page to do is to construct a query that will search through my keywords table for every instance of ANY of those words. How would you suggest I handle this?
For that simple example, you can just explode the string on the space and create a WHERE clause entry for each word.
For example:
$words = explode(' ',$_GET['search_text']);
foreach($words as $word)
{ $query .= " AND column LIKE '%$word%' "; }Gets more complicated the more you want to parse the search text and is dependant upon what database you're using.
