Location: ORM > v7 > Prisma Client > Queries > Full-text search

Prisma Client supports full-text search for MySQL and for PostgreSQL with the `fullTextSearchPostgres` preview feature.

## Enabling full-text search for PostgreSQL

Add the preview flag to your generator and re-generate Prisma Client:

```prisma title="schema.prisma"
generator client {
  provider        = "prisma-client"
  output          = "./generated"
  previewFeatures = ["fullTextSearchPostgres"]
}
```

#### bun

```bash
bunx prisma generate
```

#### pnpm

```bash
pnpm prisma generate
```

#### yarn

```bash
yarn prisma generate
```

#### npm

```bash
npx prisma generate
```

## Search within a text field

```ts
const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
  where: {
    body: {
      search: "cat | dog",
    },
  },
});
```

## Sort by relevance

Prisma Client also supports relevance-based ordering on supported databases:

```ts
const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
  orderBy: {
    _relevance: {
      fields: ["title"],
      search: "database",
      sort: "desc",
    },
  },
});
```
