Hi all,

I have a question about using Full Text Search, basically I've set it up and it works well. Got it to index one column of my database.

Say I have 5 entries. 3 of them say Paris Hostel, the other 2 say Nice Hostel.

If I search for Paris, the Paris entries show, if I search for Paris Hostel then all entries show. The current query code I'm using looks like:

SELECT * FROM hostels WHERE
FREETEXT(hostelTags, 'paris hostel')

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it looks for all possible matches, so even when you search for paris hotel it will look for entries with paris, hotel, paris hotel.... thats why it returns nice hotel entries as they also have hotel.
it returns all matched words and even words that matches the meaning
