Thread: Search Engine with PHP

Search Engine with PHP

    Hi all-
 
I'm making an internal search engine with PHP.
So far, the user enters keywords and the database is searched with:
 
SELECT ... WHERE lower(fieldname) LIKE lower(keyword1) AND lower(fieldname) LIKE lower(keyword2)...
 
and this works great.  Although, now I want the answers diplayed in order of best match (not sorted just by a fieldname).  How do I do this?  Do I need to totally restructure the search engine?  Can I do it with a count( ) function?  If so, how? 
 
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Mike
