Boolean Full-Text Search Mode Operators(From the MySQL Manual)

None By default (when neither + nor - is specified) the word is optional.

+ A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every row returned.

- A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any row returned.

( ) Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions. Parenthesized groups can be nested.

* An asterix is used as a wildcard, for partial words or roots.

" A phrase that is enclosed within double quote (") characters matches only rows that contain the phrase literally, as it was typed.

Boolean Full-Text Search Examples(From the MySQL Manual)

apple banana Find rows that contain at least one of the two words.

+apple +juice Find rows that contain both words.

+apple -macintosh Find rows that contain the word 'apple' but not 'macintosh'.

apple* Find rows that contain words such as 'apple', 'apples', 'applesauce', or 'applet'.

"some words" Find rows that contain the exact phrase "some words" (for example, rows that contain "some words of wisdom" but not "some noise words"). Note that the " characters that surround the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotes that surround the search string itself.
