Does anyone know of a good, free PHP / mySQL search engine tutorial? :(

Basically Id like to search a database, at the moemnt I use the SQL %like% command, but thats not really good, ideally Id like to figure out how to handle queries such as "horse racing", so it would not only look for "horse racing" but also "horse" and "racing" and then rank and display everything in relevance order.

Can this be done?

Hi,
Thanks for this, but Ive tried it before, it doesnt seem to be an accurate search, for some reason some words are missed completely

its not very hard. all you need is yto make a query and have it pront the output of that search.i know this might not help but i could give u some pointers if u want it.
