Hi: My name is Martin, I have been using SQLite for web development for several years. Can't say enough good things about it.
Recently, I was asked to implement full-text search in an application with up to 1 million items, each with several columns having AND, OR and a phrase search capabilities. I can only work with FTS4, which does not allow a phrase search with column specifiers, e. g. this is invalid: MATCH 'column1:"lorem ipsum" column2:"gaudeamus igitur"' My question is - can I simulate phrases with the NEAR keyword? Like so: MATCH 'column1:lorem NEAR/0 column1:ipsum column2:gaudeamus NEAR/0 column2:igitur' The way NEAR keyword is explained, it should work, and all my tests give me correct results. I just want to make sure it is always going to be correct. Thanks. Best, Martin
