🗂️ Implementing Full-Text Search for Natural Language Queries​

Full-text indexes allow efficient searching for words or phrases in text columns using MATCH ... AGAINST. You can perform boolean searches or natural language ranking. Ensure you set appropriate minimum word length and stopwords.

ALTER TABLE articles ADD FULLTEXT(title, body);

SELECT *, MATCH(title, body) AGAINST('database optimization' IN NATURAL LANGUAGE MODE) AS score
FROM articles
WHERE MATCH(title, body) AGAINST('database optimization');
