Hi,

I am having a database with varchar(255) columns named title,
extra_info1,extra_info2,extra_info3 .
I want to search all these columns with a search string given to me via a
form ,I am using PERL, the string will be like

+abhishek jain -abcd "this should be exact"

I think MySQL fulltext search in boolean mode would be the perfect choice for that:

You can use search strings like your example with that directly.
