Summary
In this chapter we have learned how to write parsers that support searches in Boolean mode. We have developed three parser plugins that show different ways of using a full-text parser plugin API—"extractor", "tokenizer", and "post-processor" approaches. We have seen how full-text parser plugins can be used to implement searches within image metadata, and how to create search-enabled applications that are insensitive to typos and misspelled words.
This chapter is the last one dedicated to full-text parser plugins. The next chapter starts with the topic of the most complex and broad MySQL plugin type of all—the Storage Engine plugins.
