MySQL Full-Text Search with Stopwords and Solution


Full-Text Search with Custom Stopword List Consideration

Write a MySQL query to perform a full-text search for "network" in the "Content" column, considering that a custom stopword list has been applied.

Solution:

-- Search for the term 'network' in the Content column using full-text search.
-- The MATCH function is used to specify the column (Content) to search within.
-- AGAINST defines the search query, and the custom stopword list ensures 'network' is not ignored.
SELECT * 
FROM Articles
WHERE MATCH(Content) AGAINST('network');

Explanation:

  • Purpose of the Query:
    • To demonstrate full-text search behavior when a custom stopword list is in use.
    • Highlights that common words may be excluded based on configuration.
  • Key Components:
    • The query structure remains similar; the impact depends on the stopword configuration.
  • Real-World Application:
    • Useful in scenarios where common terms are excluded to improve search relevancy.

Notes:

  • Custom stopword lists are configured at the server level.
  • Ensure that the term "network" is not part of the stopwords.

For more Practice: Solve these Related Problems:

  • Write a MySQL query to perform a full-text search for "network" in the Content column while ensuring that a custom stopword list does not exclude this term.
  • Write a MySQL query to search for "server" in the Content column using full-text search and verify that the custom stopword list does not filter out "server".
  • Write a MySQL query to perform a full-text search for "protocol" in the Content column, taking into account a custom stopword list that ignores common words.
  • Write a MySQL query to search for "router" in the Content column using full-text search while ensuring that "router" is not omitted due to a custom stopword list.
