How do I implement full-text search

Keywords: MySQL, full-text search, SQL, database, search optimization
Description: Full-text search in MySQL enables natural language searching capabilities. This feature allows users to search for text across large data sets easily, returning relevant results based on search terms.
// Example of implementing full-text search in MySQL $conn = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "database"); // Check connection if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } // Create a full-text index on the column for searching $sql = "ALTER TABLE articles ADD FULLTEXT(title, content)"; $conn->query($sql); // Example search query $searchTerm = "full-text search"; $sql = "SELECT * FROM articles WHERE MATCH(title, content) AGAINST('$searchTerm' IN NATURAL LANGUAGE MODE)"; $result = $conn->query($sql); if ($result->num_rows > 0) { // Output data of each row while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Title: " . $row["title"]. "
"; } } else { echo "0 results"; } $conn->close();
