I've this query:
SELECT DISTINCT u.name_surname, u.avatar, u.location
FROM users AS u
JOIN connections AS c
ON c.user_id = u.id
JOIN words_en AS w
ON w.id = c.word_id
LEFT JOIN friends AS f1
ON f1.asker_user_id = :user_id
AND f1.status = 1
AND f1.asked_user_id = u.id
WHERE (w.word = :kwd
OR u.location = :kwd
OR u.name_surname = :kwd)
AND (u.privacy = 3 OR (u.privacy = 2 and f1.id IS NOT NULL))
AND c.deleted <> 1
I wanted to understand where match for kwd was coming from (which column),
so I added this in select:
/*,
CONCAT_WS(",",
CASE WHEN w.word = :kwd THEN "word" END,
CASE WHEN u.location = :kwd THEN "location" END,
CASE WHEN u.name_surname = :kwd THEN "name_surname" END) As matches*/
Problem after adding this is that whenever there is a double match, lets say both in location and name, than two results are displayed. How do i solve this?
