Sort search results based on substring position in MySQL
To sort search results based on substring position, use ORDER BY LOCATE(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1838 ( Subject varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1838 values('MongoDB MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1838 values('MySQL Java');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1838 values('JavaWithMySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1838;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------+ | Subject | +---------------+ | MongoDB MySQL | | MySQL Java | | JavaWithMySQL | +---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to sort search results based on substring position:
mysql> select * from DemoTable1838
where Subject LIKE '%MySQL%'
ORDER BY LOCATE('MySQL', Subject);This will produce the following output −
+---------------+ | Subject | +---------------+ | MySQL Java | | MongoDB MySQL | | JavaWithMySQL | +---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
