Full-text Method For SQL Express
Jun 8, 2006
Hi,
I have enabled full-text indexing for my database in SQL Express. I have also managed to select which column I would like to perform FT searching on in the 'Modify table' section. However when I run a Freetext/Contains query nothing gets returned.
I have rebooted my machine as instrcuted in previous threads! Unfortunately I am totally new to all this and have no idea what the steps are to carrying out this task.
Do I need to populate my full-text catalogue? If so how can I do this?
Also Do I need to index this table as well? again I'm mythed on how to do this.
Any help / direction much appreciated!
Cheers

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.
John.

Hi,
A couple of questions on the Full-Text feature of SQL Express.
I am currently developing a site, and am using Express as my database, though I will be using a standard version of 2005 when I get to go live. The full text on express as I understand is limited to one column per table. On sql 2005, can I index multiple columns to one collection, and then search that?
The main question i have is concerning creating a collection that works. I have created a catalog, and received no errors so that seems fine. Then I created an index, using a column which contain nvarchar data. This also seems fine. I used the templates provided to achieve all this. When I try to use the 'Start Full Population' template I get this message : 'Request to start a full-text index population on table or indexed view 'tbl_indexme_locale' is ignored because a population is currently active for this table or indexed view'.
If I execute 'SELECT * FROM sys.fulltext_indexes' there is one result, and it appears to have completed a full crawl in a manner of seconds. is_enabled =1.
The problem Im having is that when I execute a command like this :
select * from tbl_indexme_locale
where overview like '%mason%'
I get results, but the following :
SELECT *
FROM tbl_indexme_locale
WHERE CONTAINS(overview, 'mason') ;
GO
returns no records, when it obviously should. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
C

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.

Hello !
When I try to search into a database table I get the following error :
Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view 'Customers' because it is not full-text indexed.
Please tell me how can I make the index.
I am using SQL Server Express 2005,VWD 2008 and WIN XP.

Hi Everybody,
Since SQL 2005 express doesn't support full text search... is there any third party that provides FTS for the express version?
Thank YOU

I have conflicting info about whether SQL 2005 Express contains full-text search and catalogueing functionality. I have read several places online where it is stated that "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services" contains full-text search, but that seems to conflict with the info presented here:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx
...for clarification, see my screenshot:

What's the real deal, and why the conficting info?

I have seenfound several posts about Full text Search and looked at the BOL but havn't found a simple how-to. If anyone could point me to or post instructions on configuring Full Text Search in SQL Express W/ Adv Services it would be great.
So far I have completed the following:
Created my database using SQL Expr w/ Adv Services.Database is monted in a SQL server instance not a user instance.In SMSE under database>properties>files checked the box "Use full-text indexing".What now. I have seen posts referncing using the template explorer in SMSE and the Full Text Index templates.
I see four templates in my template explorer related to FTS .
Create Full-text Catalog
Create Full-text Index
Start Full Population
Stop Population
My understanding is that you get 1 catalog per database and you can create 1 index per table in that database. The catalog is a container for the indexices.
Are the templates just generic sql statements to provide an example of what to run? I would like to see some examples specific to SQL Express.

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?

I'm using the Full text functionality of SQL 2005 Express Advanced and it works well.
However, the first time a query is run it take 20 seconds or so to actually return the search results. Thereafter, the search results are almost immediate.
That would be fine, except that if no further search is performed for approx 15 minutes or so, then we are back to the first scenario where it takes 20 seconds to return the results.
I assume this means that the full text catalog is not being held in cache at the server? Is there anyway to force it to do this?
My first thoughts were that Full Text within 2005 was an excellent tool, but if the first search always takes a long time then I will have to re-think as I can be sure that customers will get extremely annoyed at the response.
Do you know if there is any way around this or if there are any fixes imminent for this problem.....indeed, is it a problem or am I missing a fundamental setup issue?
What would be the implications if I created a small console application to perform a full text search once every minute at the server to keep the index cached?
many thanks

Newbie questions.
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.

I have 2 machines with SQL Express AS and Enterprise Ed.
I restored the same databse on both.
FT were created on both using this:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG [FTSearchCat]
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON [dbo].[strings_catalog] KEY INDEX [PK_strings_catalog] ON [FTSearchCat] WITH CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO
ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX ON [dbo].[strings_catalog] ADD ([string] LANGUAGE [English])
ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX ON [dbo].[strings_catalog] ENABLE
Its Ok. FTC populated and ready to queries.
Next:
I did the same actions on both and have the same results:
select id,string from strings_catalog where freetext(string, 'Ice')
---------------
767581 Summer test Ice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I do the same actions on both:
update strings_catalog set string=N'Summer test Sea' where [id]=767581
1) Enterprise Ed:
----------------------------------
select id,string from strings_catalog where freetext(string, 'Sea')
---------------
767581 Summer test Sea
1) Express Adv.
----------------------------------
select id,string from strings_catalog where freetext(string, 'Ice')
---------------
767581 Summer test Sea
select id,string from strings_catalog where freetext(string, 'Sea')
---------------
(0 rows)
Also, on Express I have:
SELECT OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFullTextBackgroundUpdateIndexOn'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFullTextChangeTrackingOn'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFulltextFailCount'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFulltextItemCount'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFulltextPendingChanges'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFulltextPopulateStatus'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableHasActiveFulltextIndex')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1 2 186 0 0 1
For Enterpirse Ed this query:
1 1 0 188 0 0 1
Please help, how can I resolve this issue?
Note. I installed Express Adv. on another machine and have the same result.

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?

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.

I trying to import from fixed width text files that may contain one or more empty rows at the bottom of the file (where an empty row is {CR}{LF}). By experimenting, I found it runs successfully with up to 32 blank rows, but with any more I get this:

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

Hi,
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
