Here is an example –
SELECT title, desc FROM stories WHERE MATCH (title,desc) AGAINST (‘”last”‘ IN BOOLEAN MODE);
There are records in the stories table that contain exact word ‘last’ but this query does not retun those records.
It matches any other words but not these -‘first’, ‘second’, ‘last’ etc
Any help on this issue will be appreciated.
Thank you.
That’s because those are stopwords which are so common that are ignored by full-text search. You can look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/fulltext-stopwords.html for the full list of stopwords.
