I would like my ASP-based site to have a search box to bring up a list of relevant pages according to user-defined search criteria.
Q: Do I need to have a d/b like SQL Server 7 at the back end to process and match the search string? Or can I do w/out a d/b somehow and run a search, and somehow still bring up the same results?
If a d/b isn't necc, pls. advise on webpages where I can find such ASP-search codes.... TQ!!
I have a page that uses the data from the previous pages form to search the data in the database and dispaly any matching results.
On doing so i get this error:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A03F9)
Expected 'Then'
/IT/searchresults.asp, line 20, column 15
If Request.Form"(Typesearch") = "computer_name" Then
My statement has a then in the statement already.
i am wondering how I would go about making a search page on my site???
Basically, i want a field in my SQL dbase called keywords so i can put general words in i.e. Apple, Bannana, Kiwi etc.
However, I want the page to be able to do 2 thngs:
1. If someone types "APPLE" the page will display all the records where the keyword is entered in the field
2. If someone types "Apples" and "Bannanas", the page will display all the records where the keywords is is entered in the field.
i have a site that shows my dvd collection i have this call from the database and i want to add a search function in the same page (not the datbase) so when someone wants to search for say "Shrek" it will bring up the search results on the main page and should show "shrek 1 and shrek 2" , Also in the same light if someone searches by Actor all the films that actor has been in will appear on the main page
I have created the Form Form in Dreamweaver Code:

Does anyone know of a tutorial or other source that addresses the following problem:
I have a textbox (txtSearch) and a drop down box.I want to enter text in the textbox, and then select the table column to search using the drop down box i.e.

View Replies View Relatedi have numerous tables to search through for a 'site search'. some of the searchble fields have html embeded within so after some quick referencing, saw I can use the regExp function to strip out all the HTML leaving only the raw text.
what is the best method to remove alot of words such as "a", "and", "I", "so", "that", "this" ...etc ... from the search string leaving only keywords essentially per page/field that will be searched within for the occurance
of the users' input text through a input field. The idea being to only return the suitable records without alot of rubbish.
I have a asp/mysql real estate site that someone else created and I don't know much about asp. If you view all the homes listed on the site you get all the listings which is now 4 pages and growing http://arizonarenttoown.com/homes.asp There is no sort or search capabilities so the list is too long and needs to searched by city.
I have some real estate websites that I created with a open source script, open -realty.org. They are php & mysql and have search pages so I can easily create a link for each city. When the link is clicked a search page displays only listings for that particular city. Code:

View Replies View RelatedI have a neat database running and im trying to place a search engine thro it. I have quite a few tables, BUT i can only get the query in one table. ie Code:
View Replies View RelatedI've recently made a recursive sub in asp to search all folder and subfolders of the map "file" for a certain filename. It will list all results and show a link.
Now there's still a bug. I can't place files in the root because this script won't find 'em. The root i mean files.
If i replace the empty dir with Server.MapPath("") it will show the files in the root but it will show 'em twice. Code:
For example:
The text to be searched is the following:
Text 1:
Hello world! what a nice day today. But I like to sit in front of computer and doing some web design. Now I have encountered some technical problems and would like to get some helps from the experts.
Text 2:
I like fishing.
Text 3:
Baseball season is over.
Text 4:
The winter snow storm is coming.
Search Keyword: snow.
Search result is Text 4
Search Keyword: I
Search result is Text1 and Text2
At the end, the key word should highlighted with a different color in the paragraph.
How would I do about this?

I have been thinking about this wee problem for a while now, and usually I figure out what I need to do, but in this case I'm drawing a blank And the most annoying thing is that I don't think it should be that hard! I use this code to search a database: Code:
View Replies View RelatedMy setup is going to be like this:
I have one page that has a few categories on it. When the person clicks on one of the categories it sends the querystring to the next page. That page takes the query string, searches the database and only replies with found results. Thats what I'm trying to setup, I think I'm very close.
I know the request.querystring is being sent properly and receieved properly, because I also have it's name displayed on the next page and that works fine. I know my connection to the database is okay, becasue if I just set it to display the entire database that will display fine.
It's when I try to use the Request.QueryString that was sent to search the database - it returns like it can never find anything. The page displays, no asp or coding errors - just no information.
The database Column I'm trying to have it search is called "Classification". I think that's all the info.. if I'm missing something you need to know let me know. Code:
Does any one know of any good asp database search scripts. What I'm looking for it to search the database on different criteria or phrases. Eg Kane 400 Boiler.
The user could put in kane 400 and it would pick it up, basically something that you don't have to put in the search how it appears in the database, I have worked on this and works fine if you put the exact phrase in, or one work but if i put in kane 400 it does not work. Also if I put % it lists the whole database, this database will hold 10000 > products so want it not to be to heavy etc.
I'm trying to use information that a user enters into an HTML form to search a database. For example, if a user clicks on a check box stating their interests are 'holidays' then this information needs to be used to search the database for entries that match, ie the entry has a category that states it is about holidays.
The entries in the database are linked to pictures that will then be loaded onto a website.
I'm having a problem with a simple search. I have a telephone directory where people can search by first or last name. This works great but when someone tries to search for a name with an ' in it you get an error.
Here's my code for the database connection:Code:
sql = "SELECT Staff.[first_name], Staff.preferred_name, Staff.no_location,
Staff.[last_name], Staff.[location], Staff.business_title, Staff.department,
Staff.phone, Staff.fax, Staff.[email]
FROM Staff WHERE (((Staff.[last_name])like'%"
& Request.QueryString("[search-lastname]") & "%')) "
I'm certain it's just a syntax error so hopefully someone can spot it quick. Using a - in the name search doesn't bring the error.
