I am programming the search feature for a directory. I am trying to make the
query display the results in order of relevance (Greatest to least). I thought
I had to perform the query similar to a column being selected in order to sort
the results by "relevance". What changes do I need to make to my query for it
to work correctly?
The mySQL query is giving me the error message:
#1241 - Operand should contain 1 column(s)
The FULLTEXT index contains:
organization
address_line_1
address_line_2
city
province_state
postal_zip_code
country
telephone
toll_free
fax
email
website
Presently the mySQL query is:
SELECT `reference`, `organization` ,
( SELECT `reference`, `organization` FROM `ministry_profiles`
WHERE
MATCH( `ministry_profiles`.`organization`,
`ministry_profiles`.`address_line_1`, `ministry_profiles`.`address_line_2`,
`ministry_profiles`.`city`, `ministry_profiles`.`province_state`,
`ministry_profiles`.`postal_zip_code`, `ministry_profiles`.`country`,
`ministry_profiles`.`telephone`, `ministry_profiles`.`toll_free`,
`ministry_profiles`.`fax`, `ministry_profiles`.`email`,
`ministry_profiles`.`website` )
AGAINST
('$search')
AND `live` = 1
) AS relevance
FROM `ministry_profiles`
WHERE
MATCH( `ministry_profiles`.`organization`,
`ministry_profiles`.`address_line_1`, `ministry_profiles`.`address_line_2`,
`ministry_profiles`.`city`, `ministry_profiles`.`province_state`,
`ministry_profiles`.`postal_zip_code`, `ministry_profiles`.`country`,
`ministry_profiles`.`telephone`, `ministry_profiles`.`toll_free`,
`ministry_profiles`.`fax`, `ministry_profiles`.`email`,
`ministry_profiles`.`website` )
AGAINST
('$search')
AND `live` = 1
ORDER BY relevance DESC
