Suchy Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I am having a problem with my search results, I am getting too many. SELECT first, last, job FROM people WHERE MATCH (first, last) AGAINST ('John Smith' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ORDER BY id I am getting everyone who has the first or last name John and everyone who has the first or last name is Smith. How should this query look so that I am only getting results whose first and last is what I search for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Why boolean mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suchy Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Because without it the search does not work at all. With $10 a year for hosting, you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hmm, i think you need double-quotes to search for it as a phrase.... Yes, but that's not the point, since it's over two columns... use '+John +Smith' instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
