Get A Multiple Keyword Search Query Working
Mar 4, 2013
I am trying to get a multiple keyword search query working.... the single search is working however when i use the Multiple Keyword search the data sheet does pop up but no matter what i put in i just get a blank table and under ID it says "NEW"
The Keywords Column has a bunch of keywords separated by commas on each row. Sometimes there will be the same keywords on different rows under the keyword column... and i want it to return any rows that have 1 or more of the keywords in it or if it is null just to return them all....... this is the statement I am trying...
SELECT Sea.ID, Sea.Category, Sea.Title, Sea.Author, Sea.Organisation, Sea.Date, Sea.Keywords, Sea.Reference
FROM Sea
WHERE (((InStr([Keywords separated by commas,Blank=All],[Keywords]))>0 Or (InStr([Keywords separated by commas,Blank=All],[Keywords])) Is Null));

Hi
I hope someone can help me. I am using Access 2003 to create a database to keep a track of projects in my craft magazines.
I have a table that gives the magazine name, issue no, project name, page no and keywords. When I enter my data I will use various keywords to describe the project. For example, for a football card for a teenage boy I would use keywords such as football, boy and teenager.
What I need to be able to do is have a query based on this table that if I search for "football" it will pull up all records where I have used football as one of the keywords.
In my current query I can do this providing "football" is the only keyword I have used, but if I have used more than 1 keyword in my table then my query will not show any results.
Is there any way I can do this?
Hope you can understand what I am asking, and if someone can help, I would appreciate simple instructions as I am not very experienced with access
Thanks
Kathie

How do I get a Query to do a keyword search in a Table? So far I get it to do a search but it has to match a specific Field in it's entirety.

I would like to have a search box in which someone can type anything and it will search through a few tables to see if this word appears, and then return information from that record so I know who it belongs to. I have a query written that has all of the fields from all of the tables that I want the search to cover, but now I am having trouble connecting a button to the query so that it runs the query and puts the word as the "Like" criteria. I can make the button run the query, but I didn't know if I have to put Like * &[TextBoxName] & * in the criteria of each of the possible fields? I would appreciate your help with this. Thanks:)

Hi All,
As shown in the attached database, I have a multiple criteria query with a front end (see frmIssue). I am trying to add a keyword search on the field 'Issue' by having an unbound textbox in frmIssue and linking it with a 'Issue' field in the query 'MyQuery'.
An example search would be looking for an issue with the keyword 'misfiring' in project 'A'.
However, having tried the Like expression on the field 'Issue' a few times, I'm still having trouble making it work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Stephen

I currently have a database with a few search forms. I recently attempted to add a box on one of my search forms to search 3 cells of a record for a key word. What happens is when I go to search, say for P0442, it does not bring up all of the records that contain that keyword in the 3 cells I have outlined. If I step down the code in the OR boxes of the query, it seems to work better but then for some reason my other search criteria , (Tracking number etc) does not work. I will upload the database for reference. I am currently working on the Search(View Only) and that is where you will find the query to work on.

Hi all.
I want to set up a 'keyword search' facility on my dbase. I would like the user to enter a keyword in a dialog box and for this to then open my main FRMContractInfo form with a recordset that shows all the records where this word appears in any or each of four fields (Summary, Methodology, Lessons, Successes). I am a bit confused about how I should approach this, can someone offer me some advice?
Do I:
a) set up a Query that references the text box on the dialog box and code it as the open form's recordset
b) write the SQL for the form in the code?
Or are neither of these approaches correct? I've tried both and neither seem to work - but I think I've got my syntax all wrong because of trying to use Like and the wildcard (*) character...

Im trying to add a keyword search to my page - I've added a button and it works fine in bringing up the "find" dialogue box.
However this defaults always to the "whole field" option, whereas what I want is it to default to "any part of field".
Can this be achieved, if not, is there another way of doing this?
Thanks

HI, Im trying to create a keyword search based on the data in several fields. The below command works well for searching one field, but I want to search several at once. Any help would be great. Thanks!
What you need is a parameter query. In the criteria space in the desired field in your query, put the following: Like "*" & [Search by word:] & "*"
When you run the query, a message box will pop up that says "Search by word:", and then you could type in "mountain" or "goat" or even just type in one or two letters. To make it more/less specific, play around with those wildcards.

Hello all, once again I would very much appreciate anyones help on what may be quite a simple issue,, my problem (or one of!!) is as follows:
I have a table that contains approx 3k records I wan to run a query that allows me to select a certain number of fields with a group. From this I mean, I have all records grouped by discipline, firstly its easy for me to determine the discipline I require (I do this in the design view by adding the discipline number in the criteria row.) next I want to find a certain number of the records that are within my chosen discipline,, the records I wan to see all contain the word alignment. I tried entering alignment on the criteria row but that didnt get me anything,, the field that contains the word alignment also has many other words listed
Please help
Many thanks

I have search the web and came across something pretty similar to what am looking for (URL...), unfortunately this database sample does not work with my Access 03, so I cant really play with it.
What I want to do is have 3-4 Paths save on my form to folders on our office server, this is were we keep client files. I like to have the ability to search for individual folders by either client ID or name or even partial name if possible too, knowing that it may display more than one folder for the employee to pick and open.
I have included a picture of the form ...

I'm relatively new to Access 2010. I have an excel spreadsheet that I've converted into an access table for the purposes of creating a user friendly form for the end user to search for relevant criteria to retrieve a list of records that fit the requests. There are two main search functions: unbound keyword search (90+ keywords), and either a series of checkboxes or one list box that lists specific countries/regions matched in a column (columns, as I will get to shortly). The region selection is bound by a selection of 15 countries.
The key is each record can correspond to more than one country. This, one record can have "Belgium, Germany, brazil" and the next record can just have "brazil". Thus if someone selects brazil, the query must retrieve the Belgium Germany brazil record in addition to the record that covers just brazil. I've tried to do this with a concatenated column that list all countries and a text box search, I've tried to do this with individual checkbox columns for each country with checkboxes in the search form...and I can't get it to work. I don't fully understand the criteria to set for checkboxes or list boxes. What would be the best way to build this form, an how?

I've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.
Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.

I am trying to provide the user a custom search feature. They want to enter a keyword or phrase and search 3 memo fields and filter the form base on the records found. they also want to be able to search the whole phrase or any part of the phrase.
I have a like expression for any part of the phrase but I when I set it up for whole phrase it doesn't work. Even if I run a simple query and use
For example: There's an acronym the user is looking for : ACA
If I set my query up like this: [field1] like "*ACA*" or [field2] like "*ACA*" or [field3] like "*ACA*"
it not only finds records with that acronym but it also finds records where that combination is found in a word, for instance vacate.
How can I set up my query to find the whole word?

I am trying to create a simple Search form in Access where a user can select a desired record and query multiple tables using the inputs.
I would like them to be able to query Retailers, Distributors and Products.
The 6 tables are linked as follows:
Although some of these tables are not included in the query, they are required to ensure relationships.
Retailers -- Uses (RetailerID,DistributorID) -- Distributors
Retailers -- Orders (RetailerID,ProductID) -- Products
All retailers have at least one distributor BUT a retailer may or may not have ordered any products.
I have created my form but the query linked to the form is having some trouble. It is only selecting those records that have ordered products. For example, if I query a retailer name only and it does not have any ordered products, it will not display. Is there a problem with the table joins? The SQL for the query is displayed here:
Code:

I have a database in Microsoft access 2010. The database has a table that stores prospective customer records, and a form that is used to input a search criteria(s) via textboxes, which then queries prospective customers table and returns the records that contain the inputted search criteria(s).
An Example of Textboxes values on the search criteria form:
Textbox - name: bob
Textbox - address: Left blank
Textbox - category: car,boat,truck
I Have tried creating a query with the following
field: name
criteria: like β*β & name & β*β
field: address
criteria: like β*β & address & β*β
field: category
criteria: like β*β & category & β*β
SQL code:
SELECT customerName ,address,category
FROM prospectiveCustomers
WHERE customerName LIKE β*β & name & β*β AND address LIKE β*β & address& β*β AND category LIKE β*β & category& β*β;
That works, but only for one value in a textbox. Once there is more than one value in a textbox (e.g name: bob,smith), the query returns no records.
I have also tried splitting the values using the comma as a delimmter, then inserting the values into a new table. That is fine until one of the search criteria textboxes has been left blank. So the query I created will run, but returns no records.
SQL CODE:
SELECT prospectiveCustomers.name, prospectiveCustomers.address,prospectiveCustomers. category
FROM prospectiveCustomers, [SearchCriteria-name], [SearchCriteria-address],[SearchCriteria-category]
WHERE prospectiveCustomers.name Like [SearchCriteria-name].name AND prospectiveCustomers.address LIKE [SearchCriteria-address].address AND prospectiveCustomers.category LIKE [SearchCriteria-address].category;

I am a relatively novice access user with a question about a query I have built. The query is a parameter query that takes its query values from a form.
I have the query constructed at the moment so the user can search and any combination of fields using a date range, and three drop downs.
One of the fields in the table that I am querying is a text "Subject" field. I would like to add a keyword search upon this field into my existing query, as such I added a text box into my form, in which the user can type a keyword to search upon.
However, when I added the following criteria to the field in my query:
Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_find_log_entry]![Subject] & "*"
And then tried typing anything into my keyword search box on my form and run my query, I am returned with all results, rather than just results with the search words.
I have read a few strings on this subject. One from 2002 seemed to be on the right track but I was unable to understand it well enough to implement the suggested solution.
Any insight that could be provided on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Benjamin

Hi all
I have a query linked to a report that prints a worksheet specific to a individual work item. This report/query picks up the Work_ID value on a form. I have 2 other forms displaying the same work with different amounts of detail. Rather than create a new report/query to run from each form, I am trying to use the one query/report from each form.
The problem is that I cannot get Access to recognise the Work_ID value from the other forms. I have tried the following:
In the Work_ID criteria field building an SQL statement as below
[Forms]![frmVCRUpdate]![Work_ID] Or [Forms]![frmVCRShort]![Work_ID] Or [Forms]![frmVCRLong]![Work_ID] - This does not work, it keeps asking for the frmVCRUpdate Work_ID value when I try to run the query from the other forms
Adding 2 extra Work_ID Values to the query and on the 2nd and 3rd criteria lines specifying that it look for the Work_ID value from the other forms but I get the error above.
Any suggestions on how I can make this work would be appreciated, I'm not sure what else to do.

Hello
I have created a database for my department to log all of our jobs to keep track of them and I want to create a simple search for them but I am having difficulties.
I am familiar with creating queries to search tables for matching records, but is it possible to get search criteria from the user (ideally from a search form they fill in) to form the query?
For example, I would like the user to be able to query the jobs by month and/or business area and/or supplier...is this possible?:confused:
Any help gratefully received!!!

Is it at all possible to search across multiple tables with one query. I have a database with about 15 tables and my users would like to be able to search for text across all the fields in all the tables. I have a simple find record command on each table, but in case they are not sure which table to search i would like to offer a search function which in theory searches the whole database.
I have 15 tables (eg witnesses/policies/activities etc), each with different fields (eg name, address/ policy decision, policy reason/ activity undertaken, activity person etc etc) . In total i would like to be able to search about 50 fields. All i need returned from the search is the record ID from the relevant table, or anything to simply identify the record & relevant table. And then they could go to the correct place to look the record up.
I have been looking for an answer for a while. I have seen queries where you enter the parameters against each field going down a row each time for criteria being "OR" each time, but there are a limited number of rows on a query design so i run out of rows.

I am having some difficulty putting togather a small database (attached).
Basically I want to be able to search for mutiple words and get the results
There are 3 main columns in the main table
1) Shop
2) Part Number
3) Part Type
Problem 1:I have created a lookup table (with check boxes) for ComboBoxes in a form but I do not know how to connect it so that when I click on the comobo box it gives me the all different (Shop numbers/part number/Part types) to select from.
Problem 2:Once I have made my selection I want to search and run query to show me the results. I know that once multiple items are selected in a combo box they are separated by commas/space, so the search must take that in account.
Other nice to have
1) If Shop 1 is selected then only the parts which were sold from shop 1 to appear in the Part number Box & visavera & same goes for Part type.
2) Ability to do a wildcard search so if I Enter "A" in part number I can see all the resealts

Attached the database in 2010 format.
Password of the db is "nolimit".

If I enter month, PTM and equipment need rest 2 fields displayed.
Like choosing the above 3 fields from the drop down , the next 2 text box should display the rest two fields.

Right what im after sounds complicated but its quite simple.
I have a client database, in this database each client has 3 skill fields, i also have a form with a listbox and an unbound textboxes that are linked to the query so when the textbox is typed in the listbox updates.
Now ive sorted out the problem of not all fields showing it some of them are blank now the problem is.
When input text into one of the boxes the listupdates, now if theres text in two boxes. and theres data in one of each that matches it will show neither, because the query is looking for data that matches in both fields, now i need partial matches so it will give results of data in both fields.
not understanding fully what i mean?
i have zipped my db, if you open the db then open the form 'MainListRecTrades2nd' and fill in data in both primary and secondary trades that matches from the list you will see.
http://awilderbeast.com/CWSystem.zip
The solution i was thinking of would to have 1 textbox that searches all the fields and displays data from any of the fields in the list
Thanks for any help
