At the moment I have a sproc (see below) which works if a user types in just a postcode, e.g. "L1 3GB" or just a street name, e.g. "Oxford Road", but if a users types in "Oxford Road London" or "Oxford Road, London" my search will return no data.
Can anyone advise how I can make my query work more effectively and work with more than just the most basic of input data?
Thanks Marco
SELECT Upper(Postcode) as 'Postcode', Upper(Address1) as 'Address1', Upper(Address2) as 'Address2', Upper(Address3) as 'Address3', Upper(Address4) as 'Address4', Upper(Address5) as 'Address5'
FROM Postcode
WHERE (Address1 = @address) OR (Address2 = @address) OR (Postcode = @address)
Hi I have a .net 2 website that works from a sql 2000 db. I am building a form that will allow the user to type in any search criteria and based on their input I need to produce some results (that’s the simplest way to put it)I will need to search various parts of my db to find similar sounding information, I was just wondering what is the best way to do this. I had the following thoughts1) Search columns using Soundex tsql function (but not sure how good this is?)2) Remove all noise words from user input (eg, and, or, the etc...) and then use a regular expression to search the fields in the dbAlternatively are their some third party components to do can do this for me Many thanks in advance
does anyone have code that shows how to separate individual words from a sentence.
e.g. i have a list of questions and answers in my database and have the following query for it:
SELECT question, Answer FROM QuestionsAnswer WHERE FREETEXT(Question, 'i want to travel around the world and learn about cooking')
so i want to extend the above query so that takes each key word (travel, cooking, learn) to find out how frequently that particular word appears in the question (for ranking purposes).
I know freetexttable does rank results, but they don't seem accurate enough for what i need to do.
I have created a stored procedure which should accepts a search friendly string to be used in a free text search. I am using DSPerson AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE (DSPerson, [FiftyWords], @FiftyWords ,50 ) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.PersonID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] WHERE FT_TBL.PersonID != @PersonID ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC Now the problem here is that the parameter @FiftyWords should be able to accept a string such as '"Love" OR "Hate" OR "Customer Service"' Notice the start and end of the query with single quotes and concepts should be between double quotes. Now this works OK inside SQL Query Analyzer, but try to get this right building such a string within ASP.NET and passing it as a parameter to SQL. In SQL profiler it comes out all weird with more quotes than originally built on asp side (errror obviously). Furthermore, I can't find an escape sequence that comes out right on the SQL side. Any ideas of how to fix this??
Anyone have any recommendations on how to bring together a search across multiple tables? Like I'd love to do a search where i searched for the product name, company name or tag all in one query (though all are in separate tables)... is that possible? Individually, it's easy, but combined it's very hard.
is it possible to use a full-text search query on two tables at the same time? for example, say i have a table of items, and another table of descriptions... would i be able to search both those tables for a string in one query? they are currently in indexed in separate catalogs, would i need to put them both in one?
I have a new client with an existing system that has just over 2 million business listings in one table. Each business listing is associated with one business category.
* Company Table (around 20 fields):
companyID companyName categoryID state postCode etc.
* Category Table (5 fields)
categoryID categoryName etc.
We are using MSSQL 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
A free text search needs to be performed on the companyName and categoryName limited by region (state and or postcode).
1) What kind of response times should I expect for the free text search (I have not used the free text search before)
2) How should I index the companyName and categoryName so they are both used in a joined query? i.e. Do I just configure the free text search index on each field separately and it should work?
This index files are created in my hidden folder. Now, my problem is, 1) Is this files associated with Full Text Search. 2) when the file will be created. 3) For what purpose, this files are stored.
I have a data table in my project that has a "text" (not varchar) field in it. I am trying to load this field with little paragraphs of text for showing on my pages. How do I get the free text loaded into the table? The database explorer and all the data grid controls cut the text off at one line. There doesn't seem to be any way to get multiline text into this table.
The string from the search is passed to a sproc in ms sql 2005. My sproc at the moment works if a user types in just a postcode, e.g. "L1 3GB" or just a street name, e.g. "Oxford Road", but if a users types in "Oxford Road London" or "Oxford Road, London" (note the comma) my search will return NO data.
Can anyone advise how I can return results when the input string contains a comma, or indeed contains both an address and a city name which essentially in the database covers more than one colunm
Thanks Marco

Hi - I'm short of SQL experience and hacking my way through creating a simple search feature for a personal project. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with writing a stored procedure. Problem: I have two tables with three columns indexed for full-text search. So far I have been able to successfully execute the following query returning matching row ids: dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150) AS SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText); RETURN This returns the ArticleID for any articles or article_pages records where there is a text match. I ultimately need the stored procedure to return all columns from the articles table for matches and not just the StoryID. Seems like maybe I should try using some kind of JOIN on the result of the UNION above and the articles table? But I have so far been unable to figure out how to do this as I can't seem to declare a name for the result table of the UNION above. Perhaps there is another more eloquent solution? Thanks! Peter
Our clients want to be able to do full text search with a single letter. (Is the name Newton, Nathan, Nick?, Is the ID N1, N2...). Doing a single character full text search on a table work 25 out of 26 times. The letter that doesn't work is 'n'. the WHERE clause CONTAINS(full_text_field, ' "n*" ') returns all rows, even rows that have no 'n' in them anywhere. Adding a second letter after the "n" works as expected.
Here is an example
create table TestFullTextSearch ( Id int not null, AllText nvarchar(400) ) create unique index test_tfts on TestFullTextSearch(Id); create fulltext catalog ftcat_tfts;
I have a scenario of where the standard Full-Text search identifies keywords but Semantic Search does not recognize them as keywords. I'm hoping to understand why Semantic Search might not recognize them. The context this is being used in medical terminology and the specific key words I noticed missing right off the bat were medications.
For instance, if I put the following string into a FT indexed table
'J9355 - Trastuzumab (Herceptin)' AND 'J9355 - Trastuzumab emtansine'
The Semantic Search recognized 'Herceptin' and 'Emtansine' but not 'Trastuzumab'
Nor in
'J8999 - Everolimus (Afinitor)'
It did not recognize 'Afinitor' as a keyword.
In all cases the Base of Full-Text did find those keywords and were identifiable using the dmvsys.dm_fts_index_keywords_by_document.It does show the index as having completed.
why certain words might not be picked up while others would be? Could it be a language/dictionary issue? I am using English and accent insensitive settings?
would you use sql server "full text search" feature as your site index? from some reason i can't make index server my site search catalog, and i wonder if the full text is the solution. i think that i wll have to you create new table called some thing like "site text" and i will need to write every text twice- one the the table (let's say "articles table") and one to the text. other wise- there is problems finding the right urlof the text, searching different tables with different columns name and so on... so i thought create site search table, with the columns: id, text, url and to write every thing to this table. but some how ot look the wrong way, that every forum post, every article, album picture or joke will insert twice to the sqr server... what do you think?

I've got a free text index on a table that is taking 15-30 % of processing becuase there is a lot of insert activity on this table at the moment. I know the indexer backs off if the server gets busy - or so the theory goes. Is there a way for me to tell it to take more of a back seat?
I have Sql server 2005 SP2. I enabled it for Full Text search. Substring search where i enter *word* doesn't return any row. I have a table testtable where description has word Extinguisher.
If i run a query with *ting* it doesn't return any row. select * from testtable where contains(description,'"*xting*"') ;
But it works if i do select * from testtable where contains(description,'"Exting*"') ;
The Full text search document says it supports substring search. Is it an issue with sql server 2005?Please help.
I am using Sql Server 2014 Express edition.I have a table with a varchar(max) column. I have created a full text search that use the stoplist "system". column has this struct: xxx.yyy.zzz.... where xxx, yyy, zzz... are numbers, like 123.345.123123.366456...I can have rows like that:
select * from Mytable where contains(MyColumn, '123.345.')
I gues the contains would return all the rows with column contains 123.345, but this does not return all the expected rows, only one row.I have tried to replace "." with "-" but the result is the same.I have also tried with '123.345.*. In this case I have got more results, but no all the exptected rows.If I use this query:
select * from MyTable where MyCOlumn like '123.345.%';
there is a free text column in the source A sampe record "

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure: Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK) Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar) I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query: CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID) But this gave me the error: Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns. I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like. Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.
Hello everyone ! I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image). I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents. Example: I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed. I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page. Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ? Best regards. Yannick
I was recently told SSRS does not support the ability to underline a portion of text in a sentence. Does anyone know if this is true? Couldn't "text decoration" "underline" and "span" be used to underline the web address in the sample sentence below?
I am looking to filter the query using the free text predicate Contains for one of the column that have dimensions of the items. The query is something like
Select * from sampletable where contains(filtercolumn, 'Near("*cm , *cm , *cm , *Kg.",10,True)')
Data in the filtercolumn is something like 64cm x 25cm x 35cm = 10Kg.
The query do not return any data.I also tried running the below query to see if cm* can be searcher for, but with no result again
Select * from sampletable where contains(filtercolumn,, '"cm*"')
If I do something like below, it does return all columns that have 35cm within the text. Select * from sampletable where contains(filtercolumn,, '"35cm"')
I am facing one problem with reporting services 2005 (SSRS), When i try to pass a parameter to Cube which is built in SSAS, i can not use a parameter where i can type the value instead of choosing it from a dimension.
Any way we can type the value for parameter, instead choosing from the drop down? If can, then how can we create the parameter? and how can i write a MDX to read it?
before I wade in and try to create a text search facility on my SQL server DB, can somebody point me in the right direction for a search ranking SQL query?
I need the user to input two or three keywords into a search field and for the (small) DB to return a handful of rows in order of popularity of the keywords.
I gather from my other post that I will need to be mindful of SQL injections but that's another issue.
Hi I have a full text index on my product table.
