I have a string that contains some keywords like this $string = 'one, two, "phrase three words"'
I am trying to do a full-text search using:
SELECT *, MATCH (column) AGAINST ('$string') AS score,
FROM table WHERE MATCH (column) AGAINST ('$string' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ORDER BY score DESC
When MySql gives back the results, the keyword "phrase three words" is not matched as a phrase, but every word from it is matched as a single.
How should I modify the string or the query to receive the results where the whole phrase matches? I have tried with stripslashes() for the string, but the result is the same.

As MySQL manual says:
A phrase that is enclosed within double quote (“"”) characters matches
only rows that contain the phrase literally, as it was typed.
Let's look at the example table:
mysql> select * from articles;
+----+-----------------------+------------------------------------------+
| id | title | body |

Order matters, when the words are quoted:
mysql> SELECT * FROM articles WHERE MATCH (title,body)
AGAINST ('"comparison database"' IN BOOLEAN MODE);
Empty set (0.01 sec)
When we remove the quotes, it will search for rows, containing words "database" or "comparison":
mysql> SELECT * FROM articles WHERE MATCH (title,body)
AGAINST ('database comparison' IN BOOLEAN MODE);
+----+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| id | title | body |

Order doesn't matter now:
mysql> SELECT * FROM articles WHERE MATCH (title,body)
AGAINST ('comparison database' IN BOOLEAN MODE);
+----+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| id | title | body |

If we want to get rows, containing either word "PostgreSQL" or phrase "database comparison", we should use this request:
mysql> SELECT * FROM articles WHERE MATCH (title,body)
AGAINST ('PostgreSQL "database comparison"' IN BOOLEAN MODE);
+----+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| id | title | body |
+----+---------------------+------------------------------------------+

Make sure, that the words, you are searching for, are not in the list of stopwords, that are ignored.
