Hi
I have been trying to find a query method in sql. Google engines search
phrases and find the best suitable result .
for instance if you write (play station) it can find all suitable result in
"playstation" or "play station" but I could not do it in sql(2000) even in
fulltext search
I tried to use LIKE operator in the query " where article like '%play%' or
'%station%' or '%playstation%' but the result comes with unneeded rows
I also try contains or freetext with "near" or all kind of attributes and no
success I wonder how the google search phrase words and find the suitable
results
do you have any experience about the issue ? any advice would be helpful

The near operator is ignored in Freetext searches. Freetext does do what you
are looking for and the thesaurus function does work there but is not
supported or documented. Please see this link for more info.

Note that Google's search algorithm is analogous to a contains with a
boolean or ranked by nearness.
