Question

I need this query to select all posts where category = logotypes and full_text is LIKE the searchword just like it already does.

SELECT      *
FROM        posts
WHERE       category = :logotypes
AND         full_text LIKE CONCAT('%', :term, '%')
ORDER BY    post_date DESC

But I want the searchword to also check if any matches were done in heading like:

    SELECT      *
    FROM        posts
    WHERE       category = :logotypes
    AND         full_text LIKE CONCAT('%', :term, '%')
--> ALSO CHECK  heading LIKE CONCAT('%', :term, '%')
    ORDER BY    post_date DESC

How do I do?

P.S the category should always remain. It have to still be category = :logotypes

Answer 1

Simply replace ALSO CHECK by OR:

SELECT      *
FROM        posts
WHERE       category = :logotypes
AND        (full_text LIKE CONCAT('%', :term, '%')
OR          heading LIKE CONCAT('%', :term, '%'))
ORDER BY    post_date DESC

Observe the parentheses around the OR-connected predicate
