MySQL Tutorial » Select Query » Full Text Search 
2. 23. 1. Using Full Text Searches

Full Text searches allow you to search for a phrase that can appear ANYWHERE in fields.

To do this you first have to alter any table nominating fields to be searchable within brackets as part of a FULL TEXT defination.

ALTER TABLE <table> ADD FULLTEXT (fields)

We could query the database using the MATCH() and AGAINST() functions.

SELECT FROM tableName WHERE MATCH(fieldsAGAINST ('search term')
mysql> CREATE TABLE Employee(
    ->     id            int,
    ->     first_name    VARCHAR(15),
    ->     last_name     VARCHAR(15),
    ->     start_date    DATE,
    ->     end_date      DATE,
    ->     salary        FLOAT(8,2),
    ->     city          VARCHAR(10),
    ->     description   VARCHAR(15)
    -> );
Query OK, rows affected (0.02 sec)
