Question

I’m working on a searchengine within a website where a visitor can provide some keywords and then the searchengine performs some queries over a datatable.

I know how to query a table, but how can you build a single query which provides a full resultlist and per matching row in the datatable the number of occurences.

So say, i have simple table like:

id | title | desc
-----------------
1  | title 1 | some text with some text provding the user most likely no interesting info.

2 | title 2 | some other text

3 | title 3 | some third text saying some other crap.

What i’m trying to achieve is: when a user searches for ‘some text’ i get a result like:

id | title | desc | noOfMatches
-------------------------------
1  | title 1 | ... | 4

2  | title 3 | ... | 3

3  | title 2 | ... | 2

Can someone help me with this one? I’m not sure how to create a query that can count the no. of occorences of a provided word in a query…
