mysql排序加权_在mysql中对多个字段进行加权搜索的最佳方法？

Here's what i want to do:

match a search subject against multiple fields of my table

order the results by importance of the field and relevance of the matching (in that order)

Ex: let's assume I have a blog. Then someone searches for "php". The results would appear that way:

first, the matches for the field 'title', ordered by relevance

then, the matches for the field 'body', ordered by relevance too

and so on with the specified fields...

I actually did this with a class in PHP but it uses a lot of UNIONS (a lot!) and grows with the size of the search subject. So I'm worried about performance and DOS issues. Does anybody has a clue on this?

Probably this approach of doing a weighted search / results is suitable for you:

SELECT *,

IF(

`name` LIKE "searchterm%", 20,

IF(`name` LIKE "%searchterm%", 10, 0)

)

+ IF(`description` LIKE "%searchterm%", 5, 0)

+ IF(`url` LIKE "%searchterm%", 1, 0)

AS `weight`

FROM `myTable`

WHERE (

`name` LIKE "%searchterm%"

OR `description` LIKE "%searchterm%"

OR `url` LIKE "%searchterm%"

)

ORDER BY `weight` DESC

LIMIT 20

It uses a select subquery to provide the weight for ordering the results. In this case three fields searched over, you can specify a weight per field. It's probably less expensive than unions and probably one of the faster ways in plain MySQL only.

If you've got more data and need results faster, you can consider using something like Sphinx or Lucene.
