Finden Sie die am besten passende Zeile in MySQL (InnoDB)

Verwenden Sie einfach LIKE, aber umgekehrt zu dem, was Sie wahrscheinlich gewohnt sind.

select query
from table1
where 'engine/mail/key' like concat(query,'%')
order by length(query) desc
limit 1

Ergebnisse:

mysql> select * from query;
+-------------+
| query       |
+-------------+
| engine      | 
| engine/pdf  | 
| engine/mail | 
+-------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select query from query 
       where 'engine/mail/key' like concat(query,'%') 
       order by length(query) desc
