Re: Key Word Query
I agree, I don't think there is a function in MySql, it will do the job. May be you can use the following algorithm 1. fetch all rows item description. 2. Split into words and put it in a array. 3. Create a counter array of the same limit of word array. 4. in a for loop, count number of time that particular word occur. Every time it occurs increase the counter and set the matched field to blank. By setting the feild to blank, you check if the feild is not blank do the progressive count, if not skip to the next word. This will increase the speed of your counting process. Just a thought.
