Full text searching in web applications means searching documents which have content and some metadata (usually at least a title). Examples include:

  • Blog posts
  • RSS feed items

MySQL

MySQL and MariaDB have the MATCH operator, which can perform basic full text searches.

Although older versions of MySQL only supported full text indexes on MyISAM tables, this is no longer the case and InnoDB tables can (and should!) be used.

PostgreSQL

Apache Solr
