Re: boolean search on phrase*

[C.R.Vegelin]

Thanks ViSolve,

So far I have tried the next alternatives, not giving me what I need:
a) ... MATCH (Description) AGAINST('"olive oil"' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
    giving only "olive oil" but not "olive oils"
b) ... MATCH (Description) AGAINST('olive oil' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
    giving "olive oil" and "olive oils" BUT also "fatty oils ... (excl. olive)"
c) ... MATCH (Description) AGAINST("olive oil" IN BOOLEAN MODE)
    giving the same results as b)

Any more ideas ?
TIA, Cor

  Hi

  The Boolen Search will itself satisfy your query. If you enclose the phrase 
within double quote ('"'), then the characters matches only rows that contain 
the phrase literally, as it was typed.

  Try removing quotes.

  Hi All,

  I want a boolean search on a phrase.
  For example on "olive oil", but it should return also "olive oils" etc.
  Now I use the following:
  SELECT Description FROM products
  WHERE MATCH (Description ) AGAINST('"olive oil"' IN BOOLEAN MODE);
  This works fine, but it does NOT return rows with "olive oils".
  I tried the following:
  ... MATCH (Description ) AGAINST('"olive oil*"' IN BOOLEAN MODE);
  but that doesn't work.
  Any idea will be appreciated.

  TIA, Cor
