These functions return a table of zero, one, or more rows that match the full-text query. The returned table contains only rows from the base table that match the selection criteria specified in the full-text search condition of the function. A match occurs when a target document contains all the terms specified in the full-text query, and meets any other search conditions, such as the distance between the matching terms. After columns have been added to a full-text index, users and applications can run full-text queries on the text in the columns.

MySQL has support for full-text indexing and searching:
A full-text index in MySQL is an index of type
FULLTEXT
.Full-text indexes can be used only with
InnoDB
orMyISAM
tables, and can be created only forCHAR
,VARCHAR
, orTEXT
columns.MySQL provides a built-in full-text ngram parser that supports Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK), and an installable MeCab full-text parser plugin for Japanese. Parsing differences are outlined in Section 12.10.8, “ngram Full-Text Parser”, and Section 12.10.9, “MeCab Full-Text Parser Plugin”.
A
FULLTEXT
index definition can be given in theCREATE TABLE
statement when a table is created, or added later usingALTER TABLE
orCREATE INDEX
.For large data sets, it is much faster to load your data into a table that has no
FULLTEXT
index and then create the index after that, than to load data into a table that has an existingFULLTEXT
index.
Full-text searching is performed using MATCH() AGAINST()
syntax. MATCH()
takes a comma-separated list that names the columns to be searched. AGAINST
takes a string to search for, and an optional modifier that indicates what type of search to perform. The search string must be a string value that is constant during query evaluation. This rules out, for example, a table column because that can differ for each row.
There are three types of full-text searches:
A natural language search interprets the search string as a phrase in natural human language (a phrase in free text). There are no special operators, with the exception of double quote (') characters. The stopword list applies. For more information about stopword lists, see Section 12.10.4, “Full-Text Stopwords”.
Full-text searches are natural language searches if the
IN NATURAL LANGUAGE MODE
modifier is given or if no modifier is given. For more information, see Section 12.10.1, “Natural Language Full-Text Searches”.A boolean search interprets the search string using the rules of a special query language. The string contains the words to search for. It can also contain operators that specify requirements such that a word must be present or absent in matching rows, or that it should be weighted higher or lower than usual. Certain common words (stopwords) are omitted from the search index and do not match if present in the search string. The
IN BOOLEAN MODE
modifier specifies a boolean search. For more information, see Section 12.10.2, “Boolean Full-Text Searches”.A query expansion search is a modification of a natural language search. The search string is used to perform a natural language search. Then words from the most relevant rows returned by the search are added to the search string and the search is done again. The query returns the rows from the second search. The
IN NATURAL LANGUAGE MODE WITH QUERY EXPANSION
orWITH QUERY EXPANSION
modifier specifies a query expansion search. For more information, see Section 12.10.3, “Full-Text Searches with Query Expansion”.

The myisam_ftdump utility dumps the contents of a MyISAM
full-text index. This may be helpful for debugging full-text queries. See Section 4.6.3, “myisam_ftdump — Display Full-Text Index information”.
