Thanks, Flint. I'm afraid MySQL does not have this feature :-(. OTOH what I'm looking for is simpler than that.
E.g. let's turn [apple pear -cherry] into [(FLD LIKE '%apple%') AND (FLD LIKE '%pear%') AND NOT (FLD LIKE '%cherry%')] Operators: (space or +) => AND # => OR - => NOT ( ) => ( ) It is actually not too complicated, but I wanted to use some pre-created general parser instead of rolling our own stuff.
