I need a search engine which works on MySql database, And I have FULLTEXT index on the columns, but for some reason - Sometimes he finds what I ask him for and sometimes he doesn't - And I really don't understand why.
For instance, I have in my MyIsam songs table a name column which indexed FULLTEXT.
And I have these records:
Sweet child o' mine , Don't Cry
And when I do this query:
$query = $msi->query("SELECT `name` FROM songs WHERE MATCH(`name`) AGAINST ('Mine') ");
while($fetch = $query->fetch_assoc())
echo $fetch['name']."<br />";
It finds it.
But when I do this:
$query = $msi->query("SELECT `name` FROM songs WHERE MATCH(`name`) AGAINST ('Dont') "); // or 'don\'t' , 'dont cry' , 'Don\'t Cry' , etc..
while($fetch = $query->fetch_assoc())
echo $fetch['name']."<br />";
It doesn't.
And I really don't understand why..
Another example is that I have another artist column on the same table which has a record - 'Sia'.
And even when I do the query to find 'Sia' , it doesn't work!!
Can someone explain me why?? (it's not the because of the min length - I use in_boolean_mode)
By the way, I use wampserver, so I thought that it might have something to do with that their MySql is not updated to the last version of it or something like that..
Please Help! I'm desperate.. :(
