| smo1234 12-05-2010 | Start from here. Keyword Search from MySQL From this many improvements can be added |
| sainath 12-06-2010 | Thanks! I tried many options but could not get, Select * from Business where BusinessName like '%$SearchKeyword%' order by Businessid DESC"; Can someone help to give me the Command Statement. |
| smo1234 12-07-2010 | Your statement is correct only. Any error message you are getting. Start from this basic like command and then go to advance search using Like command |
| sainath 12-12-2010 | I am not getting any error message but the search result is not what I am looking for if I type 'ote' in say a word like 'hotel' i should not get any results, but i get all results where ever the word contains ote that is middle of a word, which is not right. I wish you can give me the code than give me links |
| smo1234 12-12-2010 | You can restrict that by adding a space before the word 'ote'. As you are searching for records which has word starting with 'ote' so there is always a space before the 'ote' , so your query should be like this . select * from business where businessName like '% $SearchKeyword%' order by Businessid DESC Watch the space between % and $SearchKeyword. That will filter the matching records which has words starting with 'ote'. |
| sainath 12-12-2010 | Well firstly thanks for all the help, but, you are not getting me what I said earlier, let me explain further When I type Hotel I get the results like this 1 HOTEL INDU RESIDENCY 2 HOTEL VISHNU RESIDENCY A/C -- -- --THE LODGE 3 HOTEL MORYA 4 HOTEL KARANTHS' 5 HOTEL MEGHALAYA 6 HOTEL SRI SAI DHABA 7 THE LEGEND HOTELS & RESORTS 8 THE GATEWAY HOTEL 9 DOLPHIN HOTELS LIMITED 10 ROYAL FORT HOTEL But when I type 'ote' which is in the middle of the word 'hotel' I should not get any results, because the word ote is in the middle of the word hotel, yes any words starting with ote will be displayed. I hope I am clear. Thanks once again |
| smo1234 12-13-2010 | In this case you will have space in both side of ' ote ' . So when you type ote it won't pick up hotel. You can also add AND OR combination inside the query. For example along with the above query you can add one OR combination to the same query WHERE businessname like '% $keyword %' OR businessname like '$keyword %' This way you will include the words where ote is at the starting. |
| sainath 12-13-2010 | Thanks for all your help, I could finally crack the problem by using Regexp like this where REGEXP '[[:<:]]$SearchKeyword' This has solved the problem, but I will try your examples for further knowledge. Thanks once again for all your help. Maybe this time you can help me with Autocomplet of Search Box which should work well both in IE and Mozilla Firefox |
