Hi,

 

I'm not really sure which is the best path to go but let me give you an example
scenario : 



1. We already have a database of varchar data : 

            +-------------------------------------------+

            |                       links              |

            +-------------------------------------------+

            | 340-golfers-dream-and-swimmers|

            +-------------------------------------------+

            | 89-golfers-dream                   |

            +-------------------------------------------+

            | 45-golf-equipments                |

            +-------------------------------------------+

            | 3-best-golf-training                 |

            +-------------------------------------------+

            | 0-golf-equipment-and-training  |

            +-------------------------------------------+

            | 39-golf-training                      |

            +-------------------------------------------+

            

 

2. From data above if we search the database for '%golf%' it would return all
rows as results, if we search for '%golf%training%' it would return three rows .

 

How do I choose from the multiple results? For the '%golf%' query, the desired
result is golf-equipments or golf-training, while for '%golf%training%' the
desired result should be 39-golf-training alone . This is sort of like search
engine ranking their results, but for this how do I set the criteria using MySQL
queries or if not possible using PHP .

 

I hope it makes it more clear, questions are welcomed.

 

TIA

Jervin

Hello,

Your question is not very clear, please elaborate it.

btw, Are you talking about the fulltext search?

Hello,



I'm just wondering, from a list of search results from a database query, how do
we trim down and return the most accurate one?



Hints, links and suggestions are most welcome.



TIA
