Mysql: Order by like?

Question

assume that we are performing search using keywords: keyword1, keyword2, keyword3

there are records in database with column \"name\":

1: John Doe
2: Samue         


        

Answer 1

To build on RedFilter's answer, you could make the rows that have both keywords to be at the top:

order by case 
when (name LIKE "%John%" and name LIKE "%Doe%") then 1 
when name LIKE "%John%" then 2
when name LIKE "%Doe%"  then 3
end
