Question

If I my term is for example iphone ipod the following query

SELECT id FROM products WHERE MATCH (name) AGAINST ('$term')

will give me results that contain both terms or only one of them.

How can I restrict to show me only results that contain both terms? Speed is my concern.

Thank you.

Add a + before every word:

$words = explode(" ", $term);
$all = implode(" +",$words);

$sql = 
   "SELECT id 
    FROM products
    WHERE MATCH (name) AGAINST ('+" . $all . "' IN BOOLEAN MODE)"
