Searching For String Without Dashes
I have a database with part numbers and information about the parts. Several of the part numbers have hyphens (dashes) in them. When the user searches for a part number, sometimes their part numbers may have spaces instead of dashes. Sometimes they have no dashes (just the alphanumeric portion of the part number.
For example, the database may have the part number: 'MP-1330'
The user might try to search for 'MP1330' or maybe even 'MP 1330'
I would rather not change the contents of the database (i.e. by removing all of the hyphens, and removing hyphens and spaces from the search string. Code:

i want to perform search operations using ASP.
this is a word search i.e. every word entered as search keyword
should be searched in the database...
since it is a word search, i tried to split the string entered as search keyword,
and then search for each splitted word in the database.
It worked for only a few records present in the database. some 1034 records were searched out of 1914 i tried the same procedure in PHP and that worked.

I'm having some problems using like to find items in my database for some reason its not finding anything if it has a space in it. Here is my SQL query:
SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE FirstName LIKE '%Dennis Smith%' OR LastName LIKE '%Dennis Smith%'
In this query i'm searching two fields for any occurance of Dennis Smith whom i know is in the database however no results are returned. Also if i just search one field and the search string has a space in it, no results are returned.

I'm developing an Asp.NET system to take a CSV file uploaded via the web, parse it, and insert the values into an SQL database. My sticking point comes when I try to split() the string returned by readline() on the file.
The following code snippet works for me:
tokens = "one,two,three,four".Split(",")
for each token in tokens
response.write("<td>"+token+"</td>")
next
However, if I take the next line in the CSV, read using StreamReader.ReadLine on the PostedFile.InputStream, I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which I have narrowed down to be my string holding the line. Further investigation reveals that no other string member functions work on my line (.ToCharArray, .ToString, etc).
I suspect that StreamReader.ReadLine is not correctly returning a string, even though Response.Write(line) displays what I would expect .....

I'm trying to design a simple website with 2 dynamic searching functions. The first is the user enters text into a search box, clicks on the search button and then connects to a sql or access database and brings back those records that are LIKE the search phrase. It's my intention to then have a detailsview link on the searches so the user can drill through.I'm designing an online version of my catalog so that the user can browse by page. I also want the user to enter a page number and then click go and that would then take the user to the corresponding page in the catalog. I'm guessing I'll need to declare If 1 then open page1.html, if 2 then open page2.html.
I know I'm close but not close enough and my knowledge has been well and truly stretched and I must have read and read my Dummies book about 20 times over the last week.

I have a single column that outputs a comma seperated list of values (black, white, red)
I created an arrary to output the values
Dim colorTypes, arrTypes
arrTypes = split(objRS("types"), " ")
riceTypes = REPLACE(objRS("Types"), ", ", "<Li>")
response.Write "<Li>" & colorTypes
This works fine. Now, I need to compare a queryString to arrTypes and bold the match before outputting it.

Just wondering the best way of doing this? are there any dictionary databases laying around somewhere?
I want to change my search so that it corrects typo's and maybe suggests better words to search with... like googles but with more alternative words to make the search more useful - slightly limited so it doesn't become pages and pages of search terms.
What I don't want to do is sit down in front of my computer and type all of this in, going through related words and possible other searches / best searches from the given input.

A client uploads a document (a msword .doc file) to the server,
I need to search a string that document and find specific words in it
(this is an Application to a School, most of them look the same, so all you can do is replace the school name in the application, but sometimes people forget to do so and get rejected for sending inappropriate application).
So I need to find in each Application possible names of other schools and alert about it.
I'm writing in ASP (I can use ASP.net as well)
I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE SERVER (it belongs to the hosting company, and there's no way of installing anything there)

I have a database which has a field called "title". I have made a text input box and set that user submitted text to a variable (call it textvar). How do I say something like this...?
Set rs = conn.execute("Select * from workitem where title contains '" &textvar& "' " )
Of course the word contains is just a guess on my part.. other ideas are "is like". What function/syntax will give me what I want, which is for it to return any title that has the words entered by the user?

Has anyone had dealings with setting up website postcode searches such as one that would let a visitor input their postcode and specify a 'within the range of' value such as 20 miles and then be returned a result.
I have an asp page that allows visitors to input their postcode into a field which then refers to an Access tbl and displays the results, but only if there is an exact or LIKE match within the db.
I want to offer the facility of letting them increase the radius if they are unable to find a result matching the exact postcode. Code:

We have a need to search through an entire drive for a specific file name. The process is currently written with recursive loops through each directory and the Scripting.FileSystemObject.
Problem is, it takes forever. When I do a standard file search through Windows Explorer, it typically finds the file I'm looking for within 5 seconds. Is there another approach to file searching, or am I stuck with trying to make this recursive loop somehow more efficient?

I have created a page which receives a query string from an SMS text message. The query string 'Body' could look something like this:
123456703061977C123456789sub901sub123sell901buy903 budget
what i need to do is split it up. I know the first 7 numbers are needed, in this case '1234567'
Second i need the following 8 digits:
03061977
WIth the rest of the text i need to scan and see if certain keywords are in there. This case i need to see if C is in there, and if it is then i need to identify the 9 digits after that letter. If sub is in there, then i need to find out the following 3 numbers, and if sell is in there i need to grab the following 3 numbers, plus what 3 numbers follow the corresponding sell.

Is there a way in ASP to enter a link and if the link works, it will search the page for a keyword. If the keyword is found, it displays a result.
For Example:

I need something to go to URL page, grab the html, search it, and tell me if "Dog" is on the page or not.

I'm trying to figure out how to create a search engine using ASP. Now I know how to create one that looks for say, firstnames. So the user would type in a name ("Jonathan") and the search engine would return the word Jonathan, from an Access database, if there was a matching record.
This time, I want to have a text box in a form, so when the users type in something like "Highlander" or "Star Wars" - then it generates a table, or list of some sort of all images related to the two movies, then the user can click on each image to enlarge. (A bit like Google images I suppose, but a watered down version). Is this viable with ASP?
