Add Weights to site search script (php_mysql)

disconne · September 19, 2008

All helps will be appreciated. I am only a succesfull code copier unfortunately & a little bit modifier.

After explainig my requirement, I pasted my site search php codes.

Best Regards

MySql Table

id author title text

My weights

if searchterm(s) found in column AUTHOR : 100

if searchterm(s) found in column TITLE : 91

if searchterm(s) found in column TEXT : 15

I want that code calculates the # of returns for each row columns. then multiply with coefficients above and make the ranking from highest points to lowest.

An example: Assume that search terms are: "php web John"

in my table row 1 -> 1 result for Author -> so total points: 1 * 100 = 100

in my table row 2 -> 1 result for Title -> so total points: 1 * 91 = 91

in my table row 3 -> 6 results for Text -> so total points: 6 * 15 = 90

in my table row 4 -> 1 result for Author & 1 result for Title -> so total points: (1 * 100)+(1 * 91) = 191

so ranking for display should be

row 4

row 1

row 2

row 3
