Using MySQL Full-Text Search in Entity Framework
Another database/text search post not for the faint of heart.
MySQL database supports an advanced functionality of full-text search (FTS) and full-text indexing described comprehensively in the documentation:
- Full-Text Search Functions (MySQL 5.5 stable release)
- Full-Text Search Functions (MySQL 5.6 development release)
We decided to meet the needs of our users willing to take advantage of the full-text search in Entity Framework and implemented the full-text search functionality in our Devart dotConnect for MySQL ADO.NET Entity Framework provider.
Hard to say why Beyond Search picked up the Oracle post but left the MySQL one hanging.
I haven’t gone out and counted noses but I suspect there are a lot more installs of MySQL than Oracle 11g. Just my guess. Don’t buy or sell stock based on my guesses.
