Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Title varchar(255) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.82 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John is a good player'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('No,John Doe is not a good player'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Yes,Adam Smith is play cricket match'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.28 sec) mysql> alter table DemoTable add fulltext(Title); Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (10.60 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 1
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------------------------------+ | Title | +--------------------------------------+ | John is a good player | | No,John Doe is not a good player | | Yes,Adam Smith is play cricket match | +--------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to search specific word in MySQL −
mysql> select *from DemoTable -> where Title REGEXP '^.*John.*$';
This will produce the following output −
+----------------------------------+ | Title | +----------------------------------+ | John is a good player | | No,John Doe is not a good player | +----------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.11 sec)
