PHP MySQL Search And Order By Relevancy

Question

I know how to do a regular php mysql search and display the results. However, because of the nature of what I\'m trying to accomplish I need to be able to sort by relevancy.

Answer 1

SELECT field2, field3, ..., MATCH(field1, field2) AGAINST ("search string") AS relevance WHERE MATCH(field1, field2) AGAINST "search string" ORDER BY relevance DESC LIMIT 0,10

In the result set, there will be a field "relevance", which is used here to sort the results.
