MySQL select query need some optimization

Question

I'm trying to build a query for search page this my first query, and this is very fast the results load within Milli seconds

$query is php variable which is search text

$sql="SELECT * FROM 
tbl_product 
WHERE 
((tbl_product.pd_name LIKE '%$query%') 
OR (tbl_product.pd_art LIKE '%$query%') 
OR (tbl_product.pd_srkw LIKE '%$query%')) 
AND pd_bestsell <> 1  
ORDER BY RAND()";

But when i build a query with search suggestions table it's very slow and take 2-4 seconds for load. our server is very powerful dedicated one so it cannot be a issue with server.

sgtexts = keep suggestion texts

sgproduct =keep products ids on suggestion table

$sql="SELECT * FROM 
tbl_product,tbl_suggetions 
WHERE 
((tbl_product.pd_name LIKE '%$query%') 
OR (tbl_product.pd_art LIKE '%$query%') 
OR (tbl_product.pd_srkw LIKE '%$query%') 
OR (tbl_suggetions.sgtexts LIKE '%$query%' 
AND tbl_product.pd_id=tbl_suggetions.sgproduct))  
AND pd_bestsell <> 1 
GROUP BY pd_id 
ORDER BY RAND()";

can anyone help me for optimize second query please

Answer 1

Is there any reason why you order by random? Removing this will make it faster.

Since you are using LIKE operator with %% , this will perform a full table scan and is by nature slower than using LIKE 'example%'.

Also, use a join on your table. Try this

SELECT 
        * 
FROM    tbl_product         tbl_product
JOIN    tbl_suggetions      tbl_suggetions ON tbl_suggetions.sgproduct=tbl_product.pd_id
WHERE 
(
(tbl_product.pd_name    LIKE '%$query%')        OR 
(tbl_product.pd_art     LIKE '%$query%')        OR 
(tbl_product.pd_srkw    LIKE '%$query%')        OR 
(tbl_suggetions.sgtexts LIKE '%$query%')
)  
    AND pd_bestsell <> 1 
    GROUP BY pd_id 
    ORDER BY RAND();

If the data doesnt need to be randomly ordered, remove the ORDER BY RAND()
