README

Convert a boolean search query into a query that is compatible with a fulltext search.

Notes

This library is a maintained fork of the original project "BooleanSearchParser" created by DuncanOglethat, available here.

The goal of this project is to iron out bugs, optimise the code, add new features and make it compatible with future versions of PHP.

Requirements

PHP 7.1 or higher

Installation

composer require pecee/boolean-query-parser

Parsing a query

$parser = new \Pecee\BooleanQueryParser\BooleanQueryParser();

$formattedQuery = $parser->parse('ict OR (technology AND bob)');

Output

ict (+technology +bob)

Order

Order and brackets are important, more often than not OR logic takes priority

sales OR finance AND manager will become sales finance +manager and not sales +finance +manager
