so I am trying to make a simple search engine, that allows a user to search username, email, firstname and lastname.
However everytime I run the following it only returns russell.harrower instead of both russellharrower and russell.harrower
SELECT *, MATCH(username) AGAINST ('russell') as score FROMuser_infoWHERE MATCH(username) AGAINST ('russell')
I am not sure if i need to put a like status in there or what, so thought i would ask.
I want it to order the whole sql by the score.
Did you try using asterisk (wildcard) in boolean mode?

/edit: don’t use LIKE, especially with % in front of a phrase, it’s veeery slow
