Note
No Proximity Operators One feature supported by many full-text search engines is
proximity searching, the ability to search for words that are near each other (in the same
sentence, in the same paragraph, or no more than a specific number of words apart,
and so on). Proximity operators are not yet supported by MariaDB full-text searching,
although this is planned for a future release.
In this chapter, you learned why full-text searching is used, and how to use the
MariaDB
Match()
and
Against()
functions to perform these searches. You
also learned about query expansion as a way to increase the chances of finding
related matches, and how to use boolean mode for more granular lookup
control.
