Full-Text Search and Query Acceleration Support

Full-Text Search Operators

MATCH_ANY

  • Matches rows containing any of the specified keywords in a field.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_ANY 'keyword1 keyword2';

MATCH_ALL

  • Matches rows containing all specified keywords in a field.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_ALL 'keyword1 keyword2';

MATCH_PHRASE

  • Phrase match where terms appear adjacent and in order.
  • Requires index property "support_phrase" = "true" for acceleration.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_PHRASE 'keyword1 keyword2';

MATCH_PHRASE with slop

  • Loose phrase matching that allows gaps between terms up to a maximum distance.
-- Allow up to 3 terms between keyword1 and keyword2
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_PHRASE 'keyword1 keyword2 ~3';

MATCH_PHRASE with strict order

  • Combine slop with strict order using + to enforce term order.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_PHRASE 'keyword1 keyword2 ~3+';

MATCH_PHRASE_PREFIX

  • Phrase match where the last term uses prefix matching.
  • With a single term, it degrades to prefix matching for that term.
-- Last term as prefix
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_PHRASE_PREFIX 'keyword1 key';

-- Single-term prefix match
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_PHRASE_PREFIX 'keyword1';

MATCH_REGEXP

  • Regular expression match on the tokenized terms of a field.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_REGEXP '^key_word.*';

MATCH_PHRASE_EDGE

  • Treats the first term as suffix-match, middle terms as exact, last term as prefix-match; terms must be adjacent.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE content MATCH_PHRASE_EDGE 'search engine optim';
