Apologize if this is a dup message: I was doing a full text search and had a question on why two different entries got the same score:
Here is my select statement SELECT id, pubyear, MATCH ( title ) AGAINST ( 'Nursing home federal requirements, guidelines to surveyors, and survey protocols (MLM)' ) AS score, title FROM tblbook WHERE MATCH ( title ) AGAINST ( 'Nursing home federal requirements, guidelines to surveyors, and survey protocols (MLM)' ) Here are the two results that come back: title: Nursing home federal requirements, guidelines to surveyors, and survey protocols score: 15.230528838754 title: Nursing home federal requirements, guidelines to surveyors, and survey protocols (MLM) score: 15.230528838754 I'm sure its work as expected, but I was hoping some could enlighten me as to why these scores are the same. There are 35 entries in the database and these are the only two titles that are similar. I also tried IN BOOLEAN MODE as well.
