Working prototype of a search class

[eluser]megabyte[/eluser]
I'm working on a search class. I'm not boasting to be a professional here, but I thought I'd post what I have so far and maybe those interested could add or change it and we could develop it into something worthy of a library.

Code:

<?php

class Search extends Controller {

    var $tbl = '';
    var $temp_tbl = '';
    var $fields = '';
    function Search()
    {
        parent::Controller();    
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        $data['results'] = $this->get_results($this->input->post('keywords'));
        $this->load->view('search', $data);
    }
    
    function get_results($keywords){
        $keywords = trim($keywords);
        if($keywords != ''){
        $this->load->database();
        $this->load->library('table');
        $tmpl = array ('table_open' => '<table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">');                                                        
        $this->table->set_template($tmpl);
        $this->table->set_empty("&nbsp;");

        $this->tbl = "products";
        $this->temp_tbl = "myTempTable";
        //split keywords into 2 arrays one for short words and one for long
        $long_words = array();
        $short_words = array();
        
        $keywords = explode(' ', $keywords);
    
        foreach($keywords as $key =>$val){
            if (strlen($val) < 4){
            $short_words[] = $val;
            }
            else{
            $long_words[] = $val;
            }
        }
        
        // create the empty temporary table.
        $query = $this->db->query("drop table if exists $this->temp_tbl");
        $query = $this->db->query("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS $this->temp_tbl like $this->tbl");
        // create the query for the long words
        if(count($long_words) != 0){
            foreach($long_words as $k =>$v){
            $query = $this->db->query("INSERT IGNORE INTO $this->temp_tbl (SELECT * FROM $this->tbl WHERE MATCH (style) AGAINST('$v'))");
            }
        }
        if(count($short_words) != 0){
        $sql = "INSERT IGNORE INTO $this->temp_tbl SELECT * FROM $this->tbl";
            foreach($short_words as $l => $m){
                if($l == 0){
                $sql .= " WHERE style LIKE '%".$m."%'";
                }
                else{
                $sql .= " OR style LIKE '%".$m."%'";
                }
            }
            $query = $this->db->query($sql);
        }
    
        $query = $this->db->query("Select DISTINCT COUNT(*) as occurences, id, style from $this->temp_tbl Group By id ORDER BY occurences DESC");
        //$query = $this->db->get('TPHS', 200, '');
                if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
                {
                $data['found'] =   'Results Found:'.$query->num_rows();
                $data['rows'] =  $this->table->generate($query);
                return $data;
                }
    
        
        }
}
    
}
