So, I have the following table:
ID product
1 usb-stick
2 blackberry
3 cup of tea
4 usb-stick 2.0
5 computer
And wanted to achieve that whenever I look through my data with the LIKE condition, for example:
SELECT * FROM products WHERE product LIKE '% <value> %'
I would get the result I was searching for. But because there are special characters stored inside of my colums, I have to write down the actual value in order to have these back as a result.
So my question here is, if there is any way on how I could escape the special characters (which are stored inside of my colums, ex: usb-stick) in order to be searchable aswell for the following statement(s):
ID product title / keyword (seperated by comma) product must be searchable for
1 usb-stick usb stick, usb stick (notice the spaces)
2 blackberry blackberry, black berry
3 cup of tea cup of tee
4 usb-stick 2.0 usb stick 2.0, usb stick 2, usb-stick 2, etc
5 computer computer
In short, I just want the product to be searchable for other statements aswell (so not only the actual value / title).
Help would be appericiated!
