SQL

Perform Basic Full-Text Search Using LIKE Operator

Learn how to execute simple full-text searches in your SQL database using the `LIKE` operator with wildcards across multiple text columns.

SELECT id, title, content
FROM articles
WHERE title LIKE '%search_term%' OR content LIKE '%search_term%';
How it works: This query retrieves records from the `articles` table where the `title` or `content` column contains the specified `search_term`. The `LIKE` operator with wildcard characters (`%`) allows for pattern matching, finding the term anywhere within the string. For very large datasets, consider database-specific full-text search solutions for better performance.
