BACKGROUND: The basis for my website is a small community made up of skilled tradesman and users who are searching for specific trade skills. I refer to these two types of people as 'tradesman' and 'users'. DEFINING THE PROBLEM: A tradesman on our website may have the following skills in their profile: decorating, painting, building etc. A user would then be able to go onto our website and type into a search box "I am looking for some decorating to be done" and all the relevant tradesmen with the keyword 'decorating' in their skills part of their profile then appear on a results page for a user to choose from. The problem is that whilst I am capable with PHP and MySQL, I'm unsure how I could begin to build this. REQUIREMENTS: I require a search function which can pick out key words in a sentence (e.g. if a user searched for "I am looking for some decorating to be done" the word decorating would be picked out) and match those key words to skills in a tradesman's profile and return a link to the tradesman's profile in the results page. The function needs to be scalable and quick to process. It also needs to be Ajax/JQuery enabled so no page refreshment is needed.

The basic idea is to create a sort of dictionary defining the list of words that "trigger" each of the skill in your database. For instance, the "painting" skill could be triggered by words like paint, painting, daub, plaster, plasterwork etc. The function scans for all such words in the sentence the user entered and, for each matching word, add the corresponding profile skill to search criteria that are then used in the WHERE clause of a database query. The dictionary itself should be put in the database to be easily maintainable without modifying the software. You should tell me whether you want me to design the user interface too or you can do it by yourself (I could do the PHP function and the "dictionary" table). Contact me if you need to exchange ideas about this.

Hi, think the best way to do this is to query the db for all words typed but also have a second function that parses out normal words like "I" "looking" "for" etc. Ajaxing so search happens without reload will not be a problem. Have a look at my reviews on here. I know mystuff!

hello, i am informatic with more than 10 years of experiences in different programming languages. I can manage your project in few days... We can do it that way: first we gather all existing skills from DB, then we check if any of that skills exist in search text.. then we find tradesmans and output them with ajax... best regards Blaz K.
