Does anyone know where I can get a Thesaurus (or list) of People's Names and their relationships?
For Example:
Bill = Billy = Billie = Will = Willie = William
Sue = Susie = Susan = Suzanne
I can build the needed xml file to become a Thesaurus for MSSQL Full Text Searching. But I can't find a list of related people names anywhere.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Hello: Please let me know if another forum is a better place to post! I have successfully enabled SQL Server 2005 Full Text (MSFTESQL) on my database, created the FT Catalog in Storage, and defined a FT Index for a table ( 1 table for testing).
I have also created an expansion and replacement entry in the Thesaurus (tsENU.xml) and removed the comments. I have restarted the server and the FTS Service, In addition, (per your comments to another user) I have used sqlcmd to confirm my default language of 1033.
I am unable to get any results from the Thesaurus file. I am able to run queries against the index using CONTAINS and FREETEXT. I get results - however I only get the same thing I would get from the CONTAINS portion of the query.
Also ..SQLSERVER2995MSFTEUser$.. has permission on the FTData folder.
// This query //
SELECT name, description FROM table
WHERE CONTAINS(description, ' FORMSOF(THESAURUS, blender) ')
// on this Thesaurus located in this C: folder MSSQL.1MSSQLFTData sENU.xml //
<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">
<thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">
<diacritics = false/>
<case caseflag="false"></case>
<expansion>
<sub>blender</sub>
<sub>chopper</sub>
<sub>grinder</sub>
<sub>food processor</sub>
</expansion>
</thesaurus>
</XML>
// returns this //
A search for blender returns all strings with the exact word blender in them - not even any plural forms. A search for blend or grind returns nothing. FREETEXT does a little better returning blender, blenders, blending. Still no grind,chop, or food process.
Appreciate your help, Thank you.
I am trying to get the full-text search thesaurus to work in Sql
Server 2005 Express edition. I live in the USA so I assume the
tx.ENU.xml is the appropriate file to modify. I used Notepad to
modify the tx.ENU.xml file as follows:<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">
<thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">
<diacritics_sensitive>0</diacritics_sensitive>
<expansion>
<sub>littre</sub>
<sub>leydig</sub>
</expansion>
<replacement>
<pat>NT5</pat>
<pat>W2K</pat>
<sub>Windows 2000</sub>
</replacement>
<expansion>
<sub>run</sub>
<sub>jog</sub>
</expansion>
</thesaurus>
</XML> I closed Management Studio and reopened to allow MSFTESQL service to restart. Then I ran these queries:SELECT FullDocNo
FROM FullDocuments
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, 'littre') *** returned 3 rows ***SELECT FullDocNo
FROM FullDocuments
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, 'leydig') *** returned 169 rows ***SELECT FullDocNo
FROM FullDocuments
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, ' FORMSOF(THESAURUS, littre) ') *** returned 6 rows ***
Thus the Thesaurus does not seem to be working since it should
have returned at least 169 rows. I rebooted my entire system to
make sure Sql Server is starting fresh. Any help in sorting this out will be greatly appreciated.
Hi! I am moving this from the Transact SQL forum as I am not getting a reply. Hope it's OK!

Hi,
I€™ve been trying to add keywords to the thesaurus used for SQL Server 2005 Full Text services but do not seems to get any improved results.
For example, I have a catalogue of article titles which contains titles such as €˜CRM€™ and then some others use the words €˜Customer Relationship Management€™, the ideal solution I would have thought was SQL Servers thesaurus support, I€™ve been though and added the values:
<expansion>
<sub>customer relationship management</sub>
<sub>crm</sub>
</expansion>
to the txGlobal.xml file in the SQL Servers FTData directory, I then amended by test query to use this clause:
FORMSOF(THESAURUS,"CRM")
The idea being that when I search for CRM it will bring back articles with Customer Relationship Management also. However I€™m just getting results for the same results as for the word 'CRM' and no expansion is taking place it would seem.
Would anyone be able to clarify what the best approach to making this work would be:
Do I need to restart the SQL Server FullText service after making any changes to the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
Do I need to restart the SQL Server service after making any changes to the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
Do you need to re-populate the full text catalogues after making a change the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
If this syntax correct when trying to utilise the thesaurus?
CONTAINSTABLE (Article_Metadata, *, €˜FORMSOF(THESAURUS,"CRM")€™ )
(It doesn;t give any errors, just no improved results over:
CONTAINSTABLE (Article_Metadata, *, €˜"CRM"€™ )
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I need all the advise and help I can get on this ... so please post anything you think would work ... A little confused I am:
Have a database table called "people" with "person name" and "ID" field. My ASP.NET application mainly stores articles in article table. An article's Article text mentions various people's names in different combinations (e.g. John, Smith, John Smith, Smith John, etc)
Is there any way, I could compare the article text stored in article table with people table and get the people from people table along with their ID's who have been mentioned in that article? ... so in an article "i love john smith ... and i think Mr smith has always been helpful", I get John Smith back...
Not too sure being honest, what is the best way of implementing this, looking for the most efficient way, probably using XML? SQL Query or may be ASP.NET's code behind?
Thanks once again for taking the time.
Cheers,
Tyro
Dear All,
I am not able to let thesaurus in SQL Server 2005 works.
My full indexed table has 4 records as follows:
tony
roby
mary
antony
The following is my tsENU.xml file:
<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">
<thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">
<diacritics = false/>
<expansion>
<sub>Tony</sub>
<sub>Roby</sub>
<sub>Mary</sub>
</expansion>
</thesaurus>
</XML>
After I execute the following query:
SELECT * FROM Person WHERE CONTAINS(*,'FORMSOF(Thesaurus,"Tony")')
the result is only the record containing 'Tony' but I need Tony, Roby and Mary to be treated as synonimus and for that reason the result should be the 3 records containing all the 3 names.
Which is my mistake?
thanks and regards

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.

Can you not add a text column to a full text index?? If I change it to a nvarchar it works fine but if I change it to a text column it wont index. Anyone know how to fix this?

Has anyone created a Thesaurus file that is using it? Specifically, has anyone set up a First Name thesaurus file and is it possible to get a hold of it. Why reinvent the wheel if someone has already done this. I am creating a database that needs to return records for fuzzy matches on first names. I don't know what all forms of the names can be such as Robert, Bob, Bobby, Bert or Sue, Suzie, Susie, Susan, Suzanne, etc. and I am betting someone has created something already that can be a starting point at least.
What about the Thesaurus Word currently uses? Does anyone know what the physical file name and location is of the thesaurus file Word uses?
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Thanks

I remembered that the Thesaurus that comes with SQL Server is essentially empty.Is there a Thesaurus that can be downloaded for US English so I won't have to sit there with Roget's doing data entry for a few weeks?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have setup a custom Thesaurus for use with SQL Full Text Index (2008). For example I have the following terms :
<expansion>
<sub>400v</sub>
<sub>400volt</sub>
<sub>400 volt</sub>
<sub>415v</sub>
<sub>415volt</sub>
<sub>415 volt</sub>
<sub>3 phase</sub>
<sub>3phase</sub>
<sub>three phase</sub>
</expansion>
When I issue a search for "415 volt" I am getting matches on records with "3" in the data, not just "3 phase" - example query below :
select tblp.productid, tblp.productcode, tblp.description, KEY_TBL1.RANK
from tblProduct tblp
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(tblProduct, description, '"415 volt"') AS KEY_TBL1 ON tblP.ProductID = KEY_TBL1.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL1.RANK DESC
It is returning items that don't have the word "phase" in at all and just have "3"! I have had to take all numbers out of the stop list as we sell a lot of technical items that will be searched for by size / voltage etc.
i am tring to create the full text catalog I am following the direction at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189520.aspx but on the last command it gives me an error
'PK_problem' is not a valid index to enforce a full-text search key. A full-text search key must be a unique, non-nullable, single-column index which is not offline, is not defined on a non-deterministic or imprecise nonpersisted computed column, and has maximum size of 900 bytes. Choose another index for the full-text key.
also I tried the wizard in the managment express but it does not have a option when I right click on the table for Full-Text Index
what am I doing wrong???
I created a new catalog and a new index but when I start a search the grid come back empty I didnt insert any data into the table until after I created the catalog and index I dont think it has indexed the data yet. How do I force this or make it???? I have another example where I inserted data and then created the catalog and index and did a search and the proper rows came back but then I inserted new data and searched on a keyword that should have brought it up but nothing showed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a SQL statement that works great when I don't use a SQL Parameter, but when I do it just takes the @Searchfor as literal text "@SearchFor" instead of the string @SearchFor represents. Any ideas? Below is the two versions of the sql statements
sqlComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@SearchFor", strSearchFor));
sqlComm.CommandText = "SELECT RANK, intID, chTitle, chDescription "
"FROM FREETEXTTABLE( tblItems, *, 'ISABOUT("+ strSearchFor +" WEIGHT(1.0))') a " +
"JOIN tblItems b on a.[KEY] = b.intID ORDER BY RANK DESC; ";
sqlComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@SearchFor", strSearchFor));
sqlComm.CommandText = "SELECT RANK, intID, chTitle, chDescription " +
"FROM FREETEXTTABLE( tblItems, *, 'ISABOUT(@SearchFor WEIGHT(1.0))') a " +
"JOIN tblItems b on a.[KEY] = b.intID ORDER BY RANK DESC; ";
I have a Full-text search that is being performed on a variable (@Description) see part of querie below:
WHERE (CONTAINS([Description], @Description)
This search only seems to work when a text fo 3 or greater characters is used Ball, but not for "an" or "a". it also does not search on part of a word i.e. "Gard" of "Garden"
Two things:
1) How do I perform the CONTAINS search for part of a word or "a".
2) How do I perform a search that returns all values, when I leave the input feild blank it returns no records.
Many thanks in advance

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have implemented Full text search in my web application.
I am using sql server 2005 database.
I used “contains “Keyword for full text search.
These are syntax as given below: CONTAINS ( { column | * } , '< contains_search_condition >' ) < contains_search_condition > ::= { < simple_term > | < prefix_term > | < generation_term > | < proximity_term > | < weighted_term > } | { ( < contains_search_condition > ) { AND | AND NOT | OR } < contains_search_condition > [ ...n ] }

full text indexing
Hi,
In SQL Server 2005, if I set full text indexing enables in column MyDesc and
1. use “Select * from MyTable where MyDesc LIKE ‘%abc%’� would this be using full text indexing? Or have to use Contains to get it be in use?
2. Once I create the full-text index, should I be setting it to populate periodically? Isn’t it populating itself?
