Hi everyone,
Can someone help me out in providing guidelines towards how to do full text indexing using sql server 2005 express edition?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Dave
I am using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (with Visual Studio 2005). I want to set up a full-text index. I am using the following query in Management Studio Express:
<CODE>
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ui_Products ON Products(ProductID);
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG ft AS DEFAULT;
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON Products(CatalogText) KEY INDEX ui_Products;
GO
</CODE>
I get the following error:
Msg 7609, Level 17, State 100, Line 3
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
How do I install full-text search?
I am following the how to in the sql studio management express and for text indexing it says
================================================
To enable a database for full-text indexing
In Object Explorer, expand the server group, right-click the database for which you want to enable full-text indexing, and then select Properties.
Select the Files page, and then select Use full-text indexing
This worked ok
==================================================
next it says to
==================================================
To enable a table for full-text indexing
Expand the server group, expand Databases, expand User Databases, and expand the database that contains the table you want to enable for full-text indexing.
Right-click the table that you want to enable for full-text indexing.
Select Full-Text index, and then click Enable Full-Text indexing.
I have upgraded a SBS 2003 MSDE database (instance MSSQL$SHAREPOINT) to SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced Edition. This worked without a problem even when I enabled all the options for the upgrade including Full-text search.
I now want to have Full-text search on this instance of SQL 2005 with database name of STS_EVEREST_1.
I first tried to use the T-SQL command of "CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG BBVisionCatalog AS DEFAULT;"
I now know that the original database was created under SQL 2000 and therefore I needed to use SQL 2000 commands. So I used the following script:
USE STS_EVEREST_1
EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'BBVisionCatalog', 'create';
It produced the following ERROR messages:
(1 row(s) affected)
Msg 7609, Level 17, State 2, Procedure sp_fulltext_database, Line 46
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
I checked to see if the Microsoft Search Service was running. It was running.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2005 full version is installed on a server computer. I installed MS VS 2005 Express edition on the server. As VS 2005 Express edition can only access to SQL Server 2005 Express edition, so a SQL Server 2005 Express edition has to be installed on the server. I wonder if both SQL Server 2005 full version and Express edition can be installed in the same computer.

do support full-text searching for sql server 2005 express edition?

I am using the full text indexing feature of SQL Server .
I have indexed two text fields in the Content table and two other text fields in the ContentDetail table
The select queries are shown below for the two seperate calls.
I want to be able to show the results based on the rank ( The column that has the best match for the searched key ).
Since I am getting two different RANK arrays from the two calls, can i resort them in the code to get the new rank order to show the results in the screen
SELECT KEY_TBL.RANK,FT_TBL.Description, FT_TBL.Title
FROM Content AS FT_TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE( Content, * ,
'ISABOUT (Cancer weight(1),Survivor weight(1), Shared weight(1), Story weight(1))' ) AS KEY_TBL
ON FT_TBL.ContentID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
SELECT KEY_TBL.RANK,FT_TBL.Description, FT_TBL.SubTitle
FROM ContentDetail AS FT_TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE( ContentDetail, * ,
'ISABOUT (Cancer weight(1),Survivor weight(1), Shared weight(1), Story weight(1))' ) AS KEY_TBL
ON FT_TBL.ContentDetailID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
I've been driving myself nuts trying to get a sensible product search
going. The existing live site search is just a LIKE %searchterm% on
the Title field in our Products table. Fast, but not great ;) Talks
between IT and Marketing have resulted in this being the desired
results and order:
Exact Title match
Substring Title match
Substring Keywords match
Substring Description match
OK, I can easily do this with UNION queries using LIKE (and a virtual
"weight" column in each query), but the query takes too long. So I'm
trying out SQL Server full text indexing, in an attempt to get the
speed up (and the natural language stuff is just plain cool).
Where I'm running into problems is doing a FULLTEXT match on
Description. It seems that to do a phrase match (e.g. "new york"
should match only Descriptions where the phrase "new york" occurs) I
need to enclose the search term in quotation marks in the query (or
maybe single AND double quotes).
But using parameters in ASP.NET (which I'm supposed to do to avoid SQL
injection attacks, yes?) I don't really have full control of the
quoting - ASP.NET and/or SQL Server automagically quotes strings for
me before passing them into the query. I think.
For example, this doesn't find any description matches:
==========================================
Declare @theSearchTerm varchar(100), @theSearchTerm1 varchar(100)
set @theSearchTerm = "new york"
set @theSearchTerm1 = "%new york%"
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 50 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE m.ShortName = @theSearchTerm
UNION
(SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 40 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE m.ShortName LIKE @theSearchTerm1)
UNION
(SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 30 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE CONTAINS(*, '"@theSearchTerm"'))
ORDER BY theWeight DESC, m.ShortName
==========================================
But this one (where I put in the actual string instead of using the
parameter) *does* get the desired results, including matches in the
Description:
==========================================
Declare @theSearchTerm varchar(100), @theSearchTerm1 varchar(100)
set @theSearchTerm = "new york"
set @theSearchTerm1 = "%new york%"
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 50 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE m.ShortName = @theSearchTerm
UNION
(SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 40 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE m.ShortName LIKE @theSearchTerm1)
UNION
(SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 30 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE CONTAINS(*, '"new york"'))
ORDER BY theWeight DESC, m.ShortName
==========================================
Trying various permutations of quotes around the parameter gives me
either syntax errors or undesirable results.
Has anybody tried this sort of thing? How did you do it?
Thanks,
Greg Holmes
I installed SQL Server 2005 express with advanced services which is supposed to include full-text search capability but I can't get it to work. When I try to create a full-text catalog it gives me an error because it does not think the full-text service is installed or loaded. I can't seem to find a reference to the full-text search feature to enable or install it. any ideas?

1. Can SQL Server 20005 Express do full text searches?
2. If not, is there a way to use SQL Server 20005 Express to search a database column containing text data type?
Using Visual Basic 2005 Express, I would like to do a simple search with a search textbox and button that will return the entire contents of a field of database text when one or more words in the search text box are in the field of text in the database.
I have been playing in Visual Basic 2005 Express and using SQL queries (SELECT, FROM, WHERE) to output to DataGridView controls by using ID columns as filters in the query, etc. This I can do. But I have not been able to use a word or phrase in the search textbox as a filtered query to output the entire database field of text which contains the search word or phrase in the search textbox.
Thanks for any help in getting me started with this.
Hello group,Does anyone know how near a word needs to be to another word to beincluded in the results of a CONTAINS search that uses NEAR? Is thissetting adjustable? Is is stored in the registry? INI or config file?I'm using SQL Server 7 SP3.Thanks,Kelly GreerJoin Bytes!replace nospam with yahoo

Hi,
I am totally a newbie to SQL server express. Recently i downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1. However later on i came to a situation where i need the Full text Search enabled. Is there any way i can have this Full text enabled in the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 or do i need to install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced
Services SP1. Please let me know if there is a way otherwise it would take me a very long time to first uninstall the SQL Server 2005 Edition SP1 and then install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced
Services SP1.
Thanks a lot,
Nitin.

Hi. I'm trying to get full-text search working on my SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and am having problems. I thought that I installed it correctly, and when I look in the services running, I see it SQL Server Fulltext Search(MSSQLSERVER). Also note that I have SQL Server 2005 Standard installed on this same laptop. I don't know if that Full text Search applies to the Standard, Express or both.
What I do see is that if I connect to the database engine named <mylaptop>, I can see the version is 9.0.1399 and I can see the check box to enable full-text indexing in a particular databases properties. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 1.
However, when I connect to the engine name <mylaptop>SQLExpress, I se the version is 9.0.3042, and I don't see the same check-box to enable full-text indexing. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 0.
I've never tried this before so I know I'm probably missing something basic. But, I have searched quite a bit and not found my answer. So, I'm looking to you for help.
Thanks in advance.

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?
right-click do on database and selected properties,selected files page check box "use full-text indexing" is disable.
how can enable check box above for sql server 2005 on windows xp?
thanks,mohsen
How might it be possible to have on the fly full-text indexing utilizing the FREETEXT and CONTAINS statements so that when I enter a piece of data into the database it is immediatly searchable using the full-text indexing features?

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently the full text catalogs no longer work on my sql server. We have tried a lot of different things to get them working and all have failed. I am totally at a loss. The service is running under the local admin and the local admins have sysadmin permissions. We have removed the catalogs and re-added them. We have removed the catalogs changed the DB to disable full text indexing. Checked the registry for the left over entries. Run sp_fulltext_service 'clean_up'. We have tried many difference combinations and tried restoring from backup. Nothing works. If anyone has ANY ideas I would greatly appreciate the help. We are running SQL 7.0 with SP3.

I have a SQL Server Instance on my workstation (Windows XP Pro) I'm trying to use the Full Text Indexing - but the stupid thing is greyed out in my enterprise manager. Any one know anything I can try?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table of product inventory I want to be able to search using the CONTAINS and/or FREETEXT functions. There are actually 4 columns I want to be searchable: brand, product name, etc. Since the table can have only one full-text index, should I just define an index on all 4 columns? It would be large in relation to the table, but the table itself is small (~600 rows). The index would not exceed the 900 byte limit.
Will this give me problems in terms of workability or performance? Is there a better approach? I could also just use LIKE searching, but it's significantly less sophisticated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am working on programming a knowledge base using ASP and MS SQL and we're running into the problem of how to search it... In that past we've just had a type of like statement... but this isn't really a search function and isn't really doing the trick...
So, what I'm thinking is that we might be able to use the full-text indexing service on Microsoft SQL server and then somehow search the full-text index from an ASP page and then procede with the db interface from there.
Are there better ways of searching MS SQL databases which I'm not aware of? Is it possible to access the full-text index from an ASP page and how would you do this? Are there documents that people could recommend on how to setup full-text indexing on MS SQL Server?
Thank you in advance, ( )

Hello everyone,
My questions are about installation (setup) and perfromances.
I have seen that, by default, all database user's files are set to : Use full-text indexing.
If we don't use full-text search at all, would it be a good idea to turn it off?
It seem impossible to turn it off at database creation using the T-SQL : CREATE DATABASE statement. Is it?
Having this parameter set to ON by default must incur an overhead. Rigth?
Best regards.
