I’ve to match a string with strings in a column of mysql table, i need to select the strings which has more than 80% of match. is there any function in mysql will do this?
for example “quote by placing” string matches more than 80% for the string”quote by place”. Like this i’ve filter.
Thanks!
A FULLTEXT search would probably be the best approach for what you’re doing. No need to pick an arbitrary % otherwise.
If you’re doing more intensive searching check out some of the engines like Sphinx
