Using CONTAINS, we can search for "never*" and we will find "nevertheless".
However, I would like to do the inverse: "*less" should also find
"nevertheless". Strangely, I can't find that in the doc and it does not seem
to work.
Am I getting something wrong? Or is this really not possible?
Thanks a lot for your hints,
Matthias Haldimann
PS: This "*whatever" search may not look THAT useful in English, but it is
very important for searches within German nouns.
Hello,I am using SQL 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio.How can I activate FullText in my database?Or should I do this only for the tables where I need it?How can I do this?Thank You,Miguel
I have create a table called tblcatalog with colums id(identity,primary key) and contents(varchar(100))
I have then created a full text catalog on that table and populated it.
Then i wrote the following query "select contents from tblcatalog where contains(contents,'sample data')" It is fetching 0 records even though u have 5 records with entries "sample data"
Apologies if this is not the correct place to put this.I wrote this query to perform a fulltext search on tblPages.SELECT * FROM tblPages,FREETEXTTABLE(tblPages, *,@searchTerm) searchTableWHERE [KEY] = tblPages.PageID ORDER BY RANK DESCWhere PageID is the primary key.The synax is correct but why does it never return any results?thanksmarc
Can I get a documentation about full text capacity and limitation like memory utilization, number of catalogs per server, no of rows in each catlaog for SQL Server 2000.
Hi,I'm doing a search function for recipe database and have the query:1 SELECT K.RANK, tRecipe.sHeadline, tRecipe.sIngredients, tRecipe.sImagePath 2 FROM tRecipe 3 INNER JOIN 4 FaktaRecipe ON tRecipe.iRecipeID = FaktaRecipe.iRecipe 5 INNER JOIN 6 CONTAINSTABLE(tRecipe, *, 'ISABOUT (chick* WEIGHT(0.2))') AS K 7 ON tRecipe.iRecipeID = K.[KEY] 8 WHERE (FaktaRecipe.iRecipeFakta = 5) 9 ORDER BY RANK DESC I want to return records like 'chicken pie' etc, hence using the wildcard in chick* BUT the wildcard doesn't work! It works fine if I use the whole word 'chicken' but of course a user won't always do that... I am using SQL server 2000. Any ideas? - I'm tearing my hair out! Thanks,Paul

I cna't seem to ungrey the fts option. I've checked that mssearch is running and using the stored procs to manage fts results in
Server: 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'm trying to do a fulltext search which returns the adjacent words also in the result, like u do a google search and it returns the paragraph containing the searched phrase.
Do users will still have access to the FullText catalog while the catalog is optimized (not rebuilt)?. My assumption is that they should have the access. Can anyone please confirm?.

P.S. May be Important: During installation (on Management Studio Express installation stage) a had to click twice the "Ignore" button for the following popUp message: "Could not write value to key: SoftwareClasses.xdropenWithProgIdsShared - verify, if you have sufficient access to hot key or contact your support.
We have a sql server 2000 active/passive cluster running on Windows Server 2003 and within the last 6 months have started getting the following errors which eventually cause the SQL Resource Group to failover.
An error occurred in the configuration monitor for instance <SQL Server Fulltext>: 80070005 - Access is denied.
SQL is at the latest service pack/hotfixes. (8.00.2187)
This cluster has been running fine for the past 3 years with no problems. Nothing has changed on the servers.
We've had Symantic Antivirus running on the servers for a long time but the FTDATA folder and the sql data and transaction logs are excluded and nothing has changed on the configuration.
We also run Diskeeper 2007 server on these servers but I can't see any problems with this.
Once it fails over it will run fine for several days and then the same errors will occur and it fails over again.
Any ideas on what might be causing this? I can't really find anything on the Microsoft site that matches this error.
Note: This has also just started happening on our test cluster which is an identical configuration.
I'm about ready to smash my computer. I've installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services on Win XP Pro SP2. I made sure to enable the Fulltext service at install. Installed to the default instance name, and made sure the fulltext service is running from the CM. I made sure to enable full text indexing on my database from the properties window. I can create the fulltext catalog, but not the index!

I am Using a Full Text Search Engine to Search Members of My Site so getting a Problem in Paging Concept I Basically want FullText Search Should Return me the Row he has Found I Dont want to write a new Query to get total resulset Please can anyone Help Me
I had problem when change database from sqlserver 2000 to sql express 2005.The fulltext index does not create automatically.Example: i use sqldatasource to insert new name to my table.and then i find it by query like this : select count(*) from mytable where contains(mycol,'newname')the result is 0but if i run query to start full index : exec sp_fulltext_catalog 'myfulltext','start_full' and run query select count(*) from mytable where contains(mycol,'newname')again. The result is 1. So i alway run exec sp_fulltext_catalog 'myfulltext','start_full' after insert or update, delete to create fulltext index. When i use sql server 2000 , i didn't need do that, it automatic. Pls help me !!! how to make fulltext index create auto in sql express 2005 .
Hello all,I'm wanting to do a CONTAINS query on fields that belong to two seperate tables. So, for example, this is what I'd *like* to do :SELECT ci.itemNameFROM Content_Items ciINNER JOIN Content_Pages AS cp ON ci.contentItemId = cp.contentItemIdINNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, (ci.title, cp.pageText), @searchString) AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]However, this will not work, since SQL Server won't let you do fulltext queries against more then one table.So my idea is to create a view that combines my Content_Items table with the desired column from my Content_Pages table. I would then create a fulltext index on this view, and do fulltext queries against it.It seems like this should work. However, when I try to create a fulltext index on my newly-created view, I get this error :A unique column must be defined on this table/view.How do I create a unique column within a view?Also, will my approach work, or will it have unintended consequences? I'm using this as part of a search component in my software, so it has to perform reasonably well.
Hello, i have a database with about 300.000 entries. The database gets about 30 new entries every day. The Database has an FulltextIndex on several columns. This FulltextIndex will be updated every night. But now i have found out, that the fulltextsearch doesn't work anymore for all entries that where added after April 2006. When i for example make following sql-statementSELECT id,date FROM MyTable WHERE (CONTAINS((columnA),' "mykeyword" '))
i only get results that have a date after April 2006 (although there are matching entries after that date). What can the reason for that be? According to Management Studio the last Update of the FulltextCatalog has been made on 1st of December 2007. Everything looks normal and I didn't find any logs that are saying that there has been any errors. Where do I have to look to be sure if the FullTextIndex does work?

SQL Server 2005: Anyone know how best to rewrite this SQL string to perform a weighted search on my table? here's my code: SQL="SELECT RecipeName FROM recipeList WHERE FREETEXT(*,'ISABOUT " & ing01 & " WEIGHT (.1) or " & ing02 & " WEIGHT (.2) or " & ing03 & " WEIGHT (.3) or " & ing04 & " WEIGHT (.4) or " & ing05 & " WEIGHT (.5)')" the idea is to get a list of recipes most pertinant to the ingredients entered. table 'recipeList' contains the ingredients in several columns. so column 2 might say '5oz of flour', column 2 - '2oz butter' etc.
at the moment it returns the correct recipes but not in the right order. If I use 'CONTAINS' it returns nothing. hope that's not too vague!
Hello, I try to get the full-text search on SQL Server Express with advanced Services SP2 running, but I got some problems. First I tell you what I did. I created a new database called TestDB.
Then I created a TestTable inside the db with a Primary Key:
sp_fulltext_database enable create fulltext catalog testcatalog as default create fulltext index on TestTable(text) key index PK_TestTable
Now the problem: When I insert some rows in the Table the catalog get not populated. (change Tracking Setting is set to auto) Instead these error messages are written into the crawl log:
Error '0x80004005' occurred during full-text index population for table or indexed view '[TestDB].[dbo].[TestTable]' (table or indexed view ID '2073058421', database ID '5'), full-text key value 0x00000002. Attempt will be made to reindex it.
The component 'sqlfth90.dll' reported error while indexing. Component path 'c:ProgrammeMicrosoft SQL Server90COMsqlfth90.dll'.
I'm wanting to do a CONTAINS query on fields that belong to two seperate tables. So, for example, this is what I'd *like* to do :
SELECT ci.itemName FROM Content_Items ci INNER JOIN Content_Pages AS cp ON ci.contentItemId = cp.contentItemId INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, (ci.title, cp.pageText), @searchString) AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]
However, this will not work, since SQL Server won't let you do fulltext queries against more then one table.
So my idea is to create a view that combines my Content_Items table with the desired column from my Content_Pages table. I would then create a fulltext index on this view, and do fulltext queries against it.
It seems like this should work. However, when I try to create a fulltext index on my newly-created view, I get this error : A unique column must be defined on this table/view.
How do I create a unique column within a view?

I just tried to backup a database I recently deployed to to SQL Server 2005 box, and got the following error:
The backup of full-text catalog 'myCatalog' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data.
I don't need the index so I tried to drop it with both:
DROP fulltext catalog 'myCatalog'
and
DROP catalog 'myCatalog'
but both give me a syntax error.
How can I get rid of this index so I can backup my database?

We are designing a scenario in which we will have a central publisher and several subscribers in a server to server environment using Merge replication. We also will have a fulltext index for one of the tables being replicated and synchronized. What are your recommendations for the index? Would auto change tracking reduce the impact? We are building for a possible 1 billion row table but do not anticipate more than 100K rows at any time of replication.

Our company relies a lot on the fulltext search, so my question is that how to start fulltext search in high priority (I have not seen that option as sql database engine, which you can select to start as high priority). Another question is that whether we can fulltext index a partitioned table and if possible how to do that.
I just implemented full text search on a table and it doesn't work like I expected. I am using a stored procedure to search a company name column.
CREATE PROCEDURE swsp_GetCompanyRecord @companyName varchar(120) as begin select recID, companyName from TABLE where contains (companyName, @companyName) end
I use the stored procedure as follows:
swsp_GetCompanyRecord '"Reynolds Aluminum"' (Quotation marks inside single quote)
If I search for a company (e.g., Reynolds Aluminum), I get the following results:
Search Returns Reynolds Reynolds Aluminum Reynolds A Reynolds Aluminum Reynolds Al nothing Reynold nothing Aluminum Reynolds Aluminum
I guess I expected this to work similar to 'LIKE' in that it would return the full company name if I gave it any portion of the name. Is there something wrong with the way I've implemented this?
Our production DBs are SQL Server 2000(Enterprise Edition) on Windows2003. Can anybody tell me how can I check whether a table has a FullText Index or not?
I am running a DB with 250Gb of documents, the fulltext index just keeps growing and growing. The files in the MssearchCatalogDir folder is currently taking up 106Gb, it was only 74Gb this morning. The full text catalog size property says its only 53.6Gb and this is remaining steady while the files in the MssearchCatalogDir folder seem to be balloning out of control. I ran a reorg on the fulltext catalog and it did not alter the file space (actually increased it).
There is one *.ci file that is doing most of the growing, its about three times as big as the second biggest one and is expanding before my eyes.
Should I have turned population off when I did the reorg?
Manamgement studio has an Optimize catalog option on the fulltext catalog properties dialog, is this different from a fulltext catalog reorg? Should I run this.
Should I run a shrink file on the filegroup containing the fulltext catalog (the filegroup itself is very small, all the space is in the MssearchCatalogDir folder)?
I have 140Gb left on this drive, is it just going to keep on expanding until I'm out of room, I just dont know what I should do.
Abit more info.....
I was rebuilding the index from scratch (needed to move it to another filegroup).
When I first started the rebuild, msftesql.exe and msftefd.exe were both taking alot of cpu and the overall cpu usage was high. Now after 12 hours, only msftesql.exe is running and is taking up 5-10% cpu. Could it be that the rebuild is not complete yet? Although the Item Count property of the full text catalog does seem to indicate that all documents have been processed, the processes keeps running and disk space keeps going down.
