MySql SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS issue in FULL-TEXT search


I am trying to add pagination to my results which query a FULL-TEXT indexed table. Here is the query:

Normal Query

SELECT *,MATCH(title) AGAINST ("+samsung +galaxy +s3" IN BOOLEAN MODE) 
as score FROM `deals` WHERE `image`!='' AND category=15032 ORDER BY score DESC;

It returns 183 rows.

Trying to do pagination

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS *,MATCH(title) AGAINST 
("+samsung +galaxy +s3" IN BOOLEAN MODE) as score FROM `deals` 
WHERE `image`!='' AND category=15032 ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 8;

Return 8 rows as intended as i want to show 8 items per page.

and then

SELECT FOUND_ROWS();

It returns 20 items as opposed to 183 as was coming in the original query. I am not sure as to what may be causing this. Can you please help me with this.

Thanks.


Solution

  • You are doing it wrong, to do the pagination you need two limits, the begin and the end, look this example and add the limit correctly to your code

    mysql> select * from t1 order by actor_id;
    +----------+-------------+--------------+---------------------+
    | actor_id | first_name  | last_name    | last_update         |
    +----------+-------------+--------------+---------------------+

    ....
    
    +----------+-------------+--------------+---------------------+
    201 rows in set (0.00 sec)
    

    now you apply the limits, begin and end

    mysql> select * from t1 order by actor_id limit 0,5;
    +----------+------------+--------------+---------------------+
    | actor_id | first_name | last_name    | last_update         |

    5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
    

    so the Idea is you use LIMIT $begin,$number_results, and when you click next it will take the number_result + total_result_per_page and put it in the $begin. Lets say that you are in page 3, and you show 10 results per page.($begin=10+10+10=30)

    select ..... where .... order ... LIMIT 30,10

    EDI:

    the found_rows will return from the beginning of the table to your limit,

     mysql> select * from t2 order by actor_id limit 10;
    +----------+------------+--------------+---------------------+
    | actor_id | first_name | last_name    | last_update         |

    It's 12 because 10 result displayed + the id 1 and 2 + 10 displayed results
