I have a table (id, title), where id is PK. For a query SELECT * FROM table WHERE title LIKE "%stackoverflow%", I tried indexing title and fulltext indexing title. I used EXPLAIN to check if index works, and both don’t work.
I am told index doesn’t work for LIKE "%...%". Is this the case?
noup it wont work, however if your index is ‘xxx%’ it will work,
another thing is your MySQL Version is older than 5.6 your engine HAVE TO BE MyIsam or Aria, but it cannot be Innodb to have a text index
