Question

basically have two questions.
1. Is there a c++ library that would do full text boolean search just like in mysql. E.g.,
Let’s say I have:

string text = "this is my phrase keywords test with boolean query."; 
string booleanQuery = "\"my phrase\" boolean -test -\"keywords test\" OR ";
       booleanQuery += "\"boolean search\" -mysql -sql -java -php"b

//where quotes ("") contain phrases, (-) is NOT keyword and OR is logical OR.

If answer to first is no, then;
2. Is it possible to search a phrase in text. e.g.,

string text =//same as previous
string keyword = "\"my phrase\"";

//here what's the best way to search for my phrase in the text?

Answer 1

TR1 has a regex class (derived from Boost::regex). It’s not quite like you’ve used above, but reasonably close. Boost::phoenix and Boost::Spirit also provide similar capabilities, but for a first attempt the Boost/TR1 regex class is probably a better choice.
