NAME Class::DBI::mysql::FullTextSearch - Full Text Indexing for Class::DBI::mysql SYNOPSIS package Film; use Class::DBI::mysql::FullTextSearch; __PACKAGE__->full_text_search('mysearch' => [qw/title director/]); package main; use Film; my @films = Film->mysearch('Godfather'); my @films = Film->mysearch('Godfather', { sort => 'title' }); my @films = Film->mysearch('Godfather', { nsort => 'year' }); DESCRIPTION This provides a convenient abstraction to DBIx::FullTextSearch for use with Class::DBI::mysql. It sets up lots of default values for you, handles all the updating of the index when you create, delete or edit values, and provides a simple way for you to create your search method. METHODS full_text_search Class->full_text_search('search_method_name' => [qw/columns to index/]); This creates your search method with the required name. When calling the search method, if you wish to order the resulting values you can supply a field by which we either 'sort' or 'n(umeric)sort' the results. For details on the syntax of the other search arguments etc, see DBIx::FullTextSearch. Later versions will provide ways for you to override any of the defaults, if anyone actually requests it!
