Search string by exact word in Mysql

Question

I have a system that searches for company. I want that when a user searches for \"Demo\", all records that have \"Demo\" will be returned, like \"The Demo\", \"Demo Inc.\",

Answer 1

The best solution is create a fulltext index:

create fulltext index `i_company` on `table`(`company`);

Then you can search as:

select * from `table` where match(company) against ('Demo');

Depending on your MySQL version, Full text index is available for MyISAM in version 5.5 or less, and is available for InnoDB since 5.6.
