This probably has something to do with my understanding of full text search or perhaps a known issue. My
Java code creates search term for full text search on MySQL like this -
This works fine if the value in the DB column contains more text than the
word itself. However, if the value is exact - no result are returned. I expected it to return results when value is an exact match. Let me give an example -
Assume that DB has column name with value "Manish", now if I search with this -
+Manis*
It does return the result correctly, but if I try this -
+Manish*
It doesn't return any result, though exact match exists in DB column - Name. How can I obtain the desired behaviour in both these cases? Removing + sign works, but it returns far too many results when there are two or more words.
Any help, pointers would be highly appreciated!
