So say I have a table with the field called title.
I want to select all the instances where the title is similar.
Quote:Title:
title 1
John
John 2
This is John 2 the third
How can I do this:
Quote:Title | CountOf course as you can see, I want to get the similar instances of anything with that remotely resembles John 2.
title 1 | 1
John | 1
John 2 | 2
I'm using this as a way to calculate the most instances of a title.

Hi, well there is a formal way to do this name as inverted index http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_index
it's not very easy! I dont' try it at code igniter or php, but maybe could be some library to work with it.
I hope this helps.

A library written by Jelmer on the boards, has MP_Search that might help get you closer.
