Re: Search function query

I have found the concept I am looking for on the mySQL web site: SELECT MATCH('Content') AGAINST ('keyword1 keyword2') as Relevance FROM table WHERE MATCH ('Content') AGAINST('+keyword1 +keyword2' IN BOOLEAN MODE) HAVING Relevance > 0.2 ORDER BY Relevance DESC I don't know how to apply this to the 3 fields in the data I want to search with the users search string ( product_name , product_description , keywords ) The search string in the form is "search_string" Could someone show me how to make this work with what I have described please?

Is there a way to enhance this query so it will display the best matches first down to the least matches? As well I don't know how to handle if the user types in more than 1 word to search. SELECT * FROM store_product_profile WHERE product_name LIKE '% $search_string%' AND product_description LIKE '%$search_string%' AND keywords LIKE '%$search_string%' Ron
