hi there, i am doing a school project and i need to have this search engine that will search the data that i have stored inside the database and display the results out can anyone help? thanks
I've been looking into ways to accomplish a fuzzy search and SSIS makes that possible if I want to do a bulk import or something like it. But what it I just want to look stuff up at any given time not haveing to run the package?
Is it possible to expose the fuzzy lookup outside of SSIS to for example t-sql?
Here's an example: I want to lookup the music artist "Notorious BIG" but in the database it is "Notorious B.I.G." if I use the SSIS fuzzy lookup I basically get what I'm looking for. But how would I call this from a web application? So then I tried Full text search but this doesn't really work out as well.
Will I have to re-write the logic that the fuzzy lookup uses to enable it to work? i.e. using Full Text Indexes and FreeTextTable, ContainsTable, SoundEx and the like to somewhat even come close to what the Fuzzy Lookup has?
Is there a built in capability in Sql server 2005 to do a search which can handle spelling errors. for eg. We are doing a search for "hanovr" and our database contains "hanover" . In cases when there is a spelling error searching using LIKE,CONTAINS,FREETEXT are not giving me the results. Is there an out of the box solution for this problem. Please Advice.
How do I do a fuzzy search? If I have a table of full names, I'd like the user to be able to do a search and find the record, "Charles Montgomery Burns" with "Monty Burns" or "Montgomry" (mispelling).
Every major web site does this kind of thing (Amazon, Google, etc).
Someone suggested SOUNDEX, but this really doesn't fit the bill. Misspellings often don't use the same sound signature as the originals. Plus, that doesn't handle multi-word searchable texts very well.
Others have suggested tries or suffix trees. If I went this route, wouldn't I have to preload all data out of the database and into this custom structure upon app startup? Is there any way around that? Also, this solution seems like it would require a lot of dev time (building a custom suffix tree with fuzzy lookup capabilities).
Is there a commonly known and acceptable solution to this?
(sorry, also posted to MySQL group; I'm using both databases so a solution in either would be satisfactory)
I'd like to add "fuzzy search" functionality to my application.
"Fuzzy search" in this topic means selecting (from DB table) rows, which have "fuzzy search" coefficient (calculated using etalon string) not less some_predefined_const. Fuzzy search coefficient calculating algorithm can be various.
So with etalon string "Margaret" "fuzzy search" can find "Nargaret", "Margoret", "Margret" etc.
IMHO time to develop, test and tune code must be quite long. I prefer to buy such "fuzzy search" component.
Does anybody know where can I get such component - server version (SQL 2005) or client version (.NET)? How much can such component cost?
Hi, I am building a website using visual web developer and sql server 2005, i want to implement a search box/engine which will return search results to the user, the results would be details of a movie they are looking for, i appreciate all advice and help given, thanks.
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum to ask this question; however, here goes. I'm being asked to create/modify a search engine for our Web site. Beyond trying to enhance the speed, I've been asked to add spelling and punctuation checks into the search text. Right now, all that's being done is a simple like statement. What's the best method to query a database? For example, if someone typed in "A and W" or "A/Ws" to get the value"A & W's", how would I make the link? Is there a database table that exists that I could reference to replace & with and (or vice versa) , etc... Is there a good place to start?

Hello Friends, I am developing a search engine with Full-Text Catalogues. Now I wanna give two options to user for search 1) Exact word 2) Like Word But catalogues always searches for like words.e.g. If "Customer Responsivness" is search text and i want exact word .but It gives result as like query means return records contains the text "Customer" or "Responsivness" or "Customer Responsivness" Can any body help that how can i change catalogues to behave it like Exact word also If there is any other method to serach from sql server except catalogue please reply. Thanks Dheeraj Verma

Hi All, I am pretty new to SQL and would like a bit of friendly help, please. Am trying to set up a .Net web site that will have dynamic content supplied by a true SQL server (am using MSDE to build this first).
My issue is in building a search engine on my web site that will return hits from the content of the pages which are loaded in MSDE.
Is there a third party or open source search engine available?
Any clues for how to build (or beg, borrow or steal) a workable search engine to do this?
hi,I'm building a simple search engine using keyword and title of a page:select ID, content_ID, 3 as 'weight'from tblPagewhere keywords LIKE '%test%'unionselect ID, content_ID, 2from tblPagewhere title LIKE '%test%'now I want to sum and order 'weight'thx
I heard that making a search engine involves PHP programming. I would like to know how to program a secure well developed image search engine for my website. Are there any websites or books you could recommend? I know a little C-sharp, but I think a beginners book in PHP would be better than an advanced or novice one. I understand this may be in the wrong forum but I figured it may involve some MySQL
My SQL Server 2000 does not use the accent insensitive collation setting(collation containing _AI) in full-text serches:While SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE <column> LIKE '%a%' returns 'Mäuse',SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE CONTAINS(*, 'a') does not.Setting 'default full-text language' to neutral (0) does not help.How can I make full-text searches accent insensitive?Thanks for any ideas!Matthias
Dave writes "I am in the dark on this one, but maybe by talking about it I can figure something out. I am an amature with sql, so bear with me. What is need to do is search 3-4 fields in a table. For example. If I search for "I am a football fan of the Colts" I somehow need to take out those conjunctions and smaller words. Not to mention weighting the search results. Any help would save me"
I'd like to build a simple search engine against Sql Server. Does .NET Framework provide some class to help in this task? From what I've heard there is an interface which implements it..
Hi, though i've been using sql server 2000 developer edition for awhile, I guess i overlooked the fact that the full-text search tool was never installed and i never needed it until now. Anyway, tried installing it today and get this error:
Installation of Microsoft Full-Text Search Engine Package Failed (-2147220991) 0x80040201 An event was unable to invoke any of the subsribers
I have no idea what this means - can you help me to get this installed correctly? I did just install service pack 4, and i tried reinstalling the components, tried rebuilding the registery of the current instance, and even tried creating a new instance with hopes that the new instance would install the full-text component - which it did not.
Any suggestions? Maybe I have to unistall the entire Software and reinstall it? Would I lose any of my data in doing this? I should note that all other tools seem to function fine.
I am using a fuzzy lookup to cleanse data from a sales line details table, during the import process. The sales order line details contains a filed called 'reference' and this is compared to a field called 'category' in another table. Using data viewers to check through the cleansing process, I notice that the fuzzy lookup doesn't seem to match i.e. tbl.salesline.reference = 'I3' -> tbl.sales.category ='I03' the above is OK, but the lookup also returns the following tbl.salesline.reference = 'I9' -> tbl.sales.category ='I01' The value I9 doesnt exist, and is miskeyed by user entry, and should have been 'I99'. I would have expected the fuzzy lookup to pickup the I99 value as at least two of the chrs are matching, but no, it picks the first 'I*' in the table. If I expand the fuzzy lookup to return more results, i.e. 5 per record, then it returns the first 5 results....I01, I02 I03 and so on. Is there a way of improving the fuzzy lookup itself?
Hi all, I have been trying for a while now to clean some data that containes duplicate data using fuzzy grouping. I can get as far as identifying the duplicate data using fuzzy grouping but how do I get it out so I can insert non duplicate data a dimension table1?
What I am also stuck with is how do u set the data that isn't duplicate in the table1 as well, or is this done in the same step. Please help, deadlines are creeping in on me
The enterprise edition of SQL server includes some advanced BI features, for example the fuzzy lookup feature of IS. If the IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server and the database the package it is targeting lives on a standard edition of SQL server can the advanced features be used? Can you run a fuzzy look against a database on a standard edition of SQL server when th IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server? THANKS!
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?
