On my search result page, I wanted to search for "Nintendo DS Lite - Pink"
I used following code:
Ex:
$search_text = "Nintendo DS Lite Pink";
$kt=split(" ",$search_text);//Breaking the string to array of words
// Now let us generate the sql
while(list($key,$val)=each($kt))
{
if($val<>" " and strlen($val) > 0)
{
$q .= " name like '%$val%' or ";
}
}// end of while
//Remove the last 'OR'
$q=substr($q,0,(strlen($q)-3));Than the $q would be:
SELECT * FROM `products`
WHERE
name like '%Nintendo%' or
name like '%DS%' or
name like '%Lite%' or
name like '%Pink%'And i am getting Mysql Output given below:
1) Activity Meter - DS.
2) Nintendo DS Red.
3) Nintendo DS Lite Pink.
4) Nintendo DS Lite Turquoise.
But the third result is most accurate/relevant then first two result.
Please help me out to get the most accurate row first then the relevant rows as per their relevancy with search term "$search_text"
Many Thanks in Advance.
