As the question, it only picked up the first word in my product_name which has var_char(50) as primary key.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$search_output = "";
if(isset($_POST['searchquery']) && $_POST['searchquery'] != ""){
$searchquery = $_POST['searchquery'];
if($_POST['filter1'] == "Whole Site"){
$sqlCommand = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE MATCH (product_name ,details,category,subcategory) AGAINST ('".$searchquery."' IN BOOLEAN MODE)";
}
require_once("storescripts/connect_to_mysqli.php");
$query = mysqli_query($myConnection,$sqlCommand) or die(mysqli_error($myConnection));
$count = mysqli_num_rows($query);
if($count > 1){
$search_output .= "<hr />$count results for <strong>$searchquery</strong><hr />$sqlCommand<hr />";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
$id=$row["id"];
$product_name = $row["product_name"];
$details= $row["details"];
$category=$row["category"];
$subcategory=$row["subcategory"];
$search_output .= "ID: $id <br/> Name: $product_name -<br/>$details<br />$category<br/>$subcategory<br/>
<a href='product.php?id=$id'>link</a><br/>
";
} // close while
} else {
$search_output = "<hr />0 results for <strong>$searchquery</strong><hr />$sqlCommand";
}
}

I tried above code as well and narrow down to product_name, it still not showing eg I have this product_name entered as 'omega fish' if i type 'fish' it doesn't show a single thing, if i type'omega' then it works
I have given this up and tried with the LIKE function and it seems to be better but still funny..please refer to this link for those that's interested
PHP search script for mySQL database, only 3 letter working
Thanks
