You have to include a the fields array in your query, and add a new field
for the score column. The only drawback is that once you supply a fields
array to your query cake no longer builds it for you automatically, so, in
order to achieve the SELECT * effect you'd have to include all the fields
from your movie table. Naturaly you can do this looping the Model:;_schema
hash. Here's a method I use (place it in your model):
function fulltextsearch($query) {
$fields = array();
$conditions = "MATCH(Movie.movie_name) AGAINST('$query')";
foreach (array_keys($this->_schema) as $field) {
$fields[] = sprintf("%s.%s",$this->alias,$field);
}
$fields[] = sprintf("%s AS score",$conditions);
$order = array('score DESC','Movie.year DESC');
return $this->find('all', compact($fields,$conditions,$order));
}
