I have a SQLite3 database that is using FTS3. It works well in SQLite3 commandline tool but when using C library (using wxSQLite3, but that should not make difference I guess), it does not work with queries containing “-” character something like
SELECT * From Table WHERE columnx MATCH ‘text1 -text2’. However, this works fine on commandline version.

I have no Idea why it does not work. All other FTS Match condition I have tried works fine.

Note: I have added wxWidgets to tags instead of wxSQLite3 as I cannot create new tags

    Apparently, your databases are configured differently regarding standard/enhanced query syntax; try WHERE columnx MATCH 'text1 NOT text2'.

    To enable enhanced query syntax, compile with the SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_PARENTHESIS macro.
