I've written a search engine that searches for jobs in a database based on keywords. I'm assembling a string of sql and then submitting it to the database based on the user's search criteria. It's working but is really simple right now - it just does a logical AND with all the keywords the user submits. I'd like to include features like the ability to submit a query like: (perl AND apache) OR java NOT microsoft
I don't want to reinvent the wheel and I'm sure this has been done a zillion times, so does anyone know of a module in CPAN that I can use for this? I'm using MySQL on the back end and DBI under mod perl which runs as a handler.
