I have three fts virtual tables in my sqlite database - two with one content column, and one with 2 columns - title and content. Say one table is for some articles' content and titles, and other two is for reviews and their notes. Is there some way to commit a search among them all in one query? I need to merge all results and sort them by relevance, first the articles and their titles, then reviews and notes. I have made some workaround. I fill a table with search results to display on every new search, but I think that is not very good idea:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS srch_res;
CREATE TABLE srch_res(type integer, docid integer, snippet text, rank numeric);"
INSERT INTO srch_res SELECT '0', docid, snippet(reviews_c), rank(matchinfo(reviews_c), 0.5) FROM reviews_c WHERE reviews_c MATCH '%s';
INSERT INTO srch_res SELECT '1', docid, snippet(notes_c), rank(matchinfo(notes_c), 0.25) FROM notes_c WHERE notes_c MATCH '%s';
INSERT INTO srch_res SELECT '2', docid, snippet(arts_c), rank(matchinfo(arts_c), 1.0, 0.75) FROM arts_c WHERE arts_c MATCH '%s';
