mysql - Full text query with a single quote

Question

I'm having a problem when I try to do a full text search in boolean mode using a string with a single quote and an asterisk wildcard, i.e. "levi's*": it seems to search also for all words beginning with "s", like "spears", when, as far as I know, the quote should be considered part of the word while two single quotes ('') would be a word separator... but maybe I'm wrong.

Please, look at the example here: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!2/3dd3e/2/0 - the second row should't be there

how can I do what I want?

Answer 1

I guess you should double quote the string you need to search for if it contains single quotes

Eg: MATCH(value) AGAINST ('"levi's"* lacost*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
