Is There A Way To Have List Of NOT Words With Containstable?
Nov 6, 2007
This works when @searchString is used in containstable (provided searchString has value)...
set @searchStringNoneOfWords = 'not(Airplane)'
SET @searchString = @searchString + ' AND ' + @searchStringNoneOfWords
This does NOT work when @searchString is used in containstable...
set @searchStringNoneOfWords = 'not(Airplane)'
SET @searchString = @searchStringNoneOfWords
I understand it is because the syntax is AND NOT, but what if I have a list of words that I do not want included? How do I start out with a NOT using containstable? It is kind of like Google's advanced search except that if you enter a word in the "without words" section with the other fields blank it would return everything under the sun except for things found with those words.

I need to build a search function for my site. So there is a single text box for the users to type in their search string. I have been asked that I need to break the user's search string into separate words. So if the user enters: "This is my search query", I need to break it into: "This" "is" "my" "search" "query" and then search for all these words.- Can I break a string into separet words using SQL?- How do I remove funny / dangerous characters from the search string?- If I have to break the search string using a programming language, I would have to run the search query for each word. If I run the search query for each word, How do I combine the search result for the user. For instance, if I search for "my" and find some result, then search for "search" and find some results, how do I display a SINGLE search result to the user.thanks

I have n Tables: T_1, T_2, ... T_n that all have the same exact fields/columns.
Ultimately, I want to search through ALL n tables and return a single table of relevant results from all tables, arranged in order by rank.
I'm not sure if this is possible. So far, I have:
1 SELECT RANK, field_1, field_2, ..., field_m FROM
2 (
3 SELECT RANK, field_1, field_2, ..., field_m FROM T_1,
4 CONTAINSTABLE(T_1, field_i,@searchText) searchTable
5 WHERE KEY = T_1.field_i
6 UNION
7 SELECT RANK, field_1, field_2, ..., field_m FROM T_2,
8 CONTAINSTABLE(T_2, field_i,@searchText) searchTable
9 WHERE KEY = T_2.field_i
10 UNION
11 .
12 .
13 .
14 UNION
15 SELECT RANK, field_1, field_2, ... field_m FROM T_n,
16 CONTAINSTABLE(T_n, field_i,@searchText) searchTable
17 WHERE KEY = T_n.field_i
18 )
19 ORDER BY RANK DESC
I haven't tried it yet, but it seems wrong. How do we actually do this?

I would like to use LINQ to generate a sql statement that does not use LIKE, but rather uses CONTAINS. Is this possible? If not, my second question is whether or not I can parameterize a SqlCommand that uses CONTAINS. For example the following statement works just fine when I pass in the parameter via SqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue()SELECT * FROM [event] WHERE CONTAINS(comments, @searchTerm1)However, the following results in a variable not defined error.SELECT * FROM [event] WHERE (comments LIKE @searchTerm1)Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

I have a stored procedure that uses containstable and want to make it a little dynamic so I was going to add a parameter that consist of the column names that needed to be search. But when I add a variable I get an error saying incorrect syntax....
Can you not use a variable as a column list?? I have a variable for search criteria and it works fine...
Here is my syntax
containstable([tablename],@columnlist,@srch)
I have been looking online and can't seem to find anything that says I can or cannot use a variable.

Can somebody help me in identifying the difference between FREETEXTABLE and CONTAINSTABLE statements?
I have recently started experimenting with the free text search and I feel that FREETEXTTABLE can look for the search string into multiple columns by breaking it into tokens.
For example
select ft_tbl.saon, ft_tbl.paon, ft_tbl.street, ft_tbl.postcode
,key_tbl.rank
from temp as ft_tbl
INNER JOIN freetextTABLE(temp, (saon, paon, street), '80 ridge avenue', 15) as key_tbl
ON FT_tbl.ID = key_tbl.[key]
Now in my case €œ80€? is in PAON column and €œRidge Avenue€? is in STREET column. Among the resulting rows it also displays the required row. If I try to achieve this with CONTAINSTABLE using
select ft_tbl.saon, ft_tbl.paon, ft_tbl.street, ft_tbl.postcode
,key_tbl.rank
from temp as ft_tbl
INNER JOIN containsTABLE(temp, (saon, paon, street, postcode), '80 ridge avenue') as key_tbl
ON FT_tbl.ID = key_tbl.[key]
It gives me error
Syntax error near 'ridge' in the full-text search condition '80 ridge avenue'.
If I make search string as €˜€?80 ridge avenue€?€™ instead of €˜ridge avenue€™ then it doesn€™t give me error but also displays no results because 80 ridge avenue does not appear as whole in any single column. If I search by only specifying €œridge avenue€? in search string then I get a full list where street is ridge avenue.
My question is Does FREETEXTTABLE can search in all listed column by breaking the search string into tokens and CONTAINSTABLE only in one as whole?

Is there a simple and direct way to perform a fulltext query in a table with multiple columns, and to use AND over multiple columns? I've noticed that AND only works within one column.
Example: Take a column 'lastname' with 'jones' and 'smith' in it. Another column 'firstname' with 'alan' where lastname=smith. Search for 'alan and smith', and no results are returned because they are in different columns. If you would have a lastname 'alan smith', that would be found.

Does anyone lese get the same results that I do?
tblTest has an id field and a testName field....table has 2 records:
1 kevin test 1
2 kevin test 3
SELECT *
FROM tblTest t
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(tblTest,*,'"kevin test 1"') as A ON t.id = A.[KEY]
Result is both records returned, but since the search is in quotes as an exact phrase, should not just the first record be returned?

I have a few questions related to using CONTAINSTABLE in a query that I hope someone can help with.
I am working on a project to add document search capabilities to my companies product using fulltext indexing. Part of this requirement is an ability to breakdown the component parts of of the search query and provide information on *why* documentX ranked higher than documentY.
This is a bit convoluted, but taking this (very simple) example - the user wishes to search for 2 skills - "HTML" and/or "XML".
The generated query looks a little like :-
Select DOC.DOC_ID, RANK1.RANK, RANK2.RANK, RANK3.RANK
from DOCS DOC
inner join CONTAINSTABLE(docs, doc, 'HTML AND XML') as RANK1 on RANK1.DOC_ID=DOC.DOC_ID
inner join CONTAINSTABLE(docs, doc, 'HTML') as RANK2 on RANK2.DOC_ID=DOC.DOC_ID
inner join CONTAINSTABLE(docs, doc, 'XML') as RANK3 on RANK3.DOC_ID=DOC.DOC_ID
This returns the "overall" rank, and a rank for the 2 component parts, so I can say this doc ranked XXX overall because it scored "rank1" for HTML and scored "rank2" for XML etc....
My question on this part is about the values for the "overall rank". If the query contained an OR it always seems to return the highest of the "rankX" values, and if it doesnt, it returns the lowest.
e.g. for the example
for java and word and excel and access - the overall ranking is 2 , java=36, word=2, excel=16 and access=36
for java and word or excel and access - the overall ranking is 16 , java=36, word=2, excel=16 and access=36
for (java and word) or (excel and access) - the overall ranking is 16 , java=36, word=2, excel=16 and access=36
So in the first example, regardless of what the other values are, the rank returned is always 2 (the score for "word"). My resultset has 100ish rows, all with a rank of < 5 for word, but all with ranks of 18-100 for the other 3 values - yet the "overall" rank always matched the "word" rank.....??
This doesnt feel right to me somehow, I would expect a different value as if the document ranked really highly for one value but low for the other, it doesnt feel right the value is clamped to the lowest? Or am I just understanding it wrong?
If I use "freetexttable" the overall rank is a little more meaningful - but unfortunately I also need to use weighting, which brings me to my next question . . .
This question is about rankings returned from the ISABOUT function.
In the following example,
select * from documents as DOC
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'project') as doc0 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc0."key"
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'ISABOUT (project weight (1.0))') as doc1 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc1."key"
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'ISABOUT (project weight (0.5))') as doc2 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc2."key"
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'ISABOUT (project weight (0.1))') as doc3 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc3."key"
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'ISABOUT (project weight (0.0))') as doc4 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc4."key"
order by doc0.rank desc
The values I get from the doc1/2/3/4.RANK columns dont seem right.
In this example,
doc0.rank = 133
doc1.rank = 150
doc2.rank = 330
doc3.rank = 924
doc4.rank = 0
These values dont make any sense to me, as the rank seems to go UP when the documentation on ISABOUT says it goes down (I think it says somewhere the calculated rank is multiplied by the weight?).
Once again, is there something I missed or am I understanding it wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help into understanding the whys of this...

Hello all,
I am using the ContainsTable function to search a database from my (c#) app. This works relatively well and all fields of the table are indexed and searched. That is, any column, but per record only one column.
What I mean is this: when searching for "chris 2007", I want to retrieve all items where author contains chris and year contains 2007. Currently, a search for chris brings up all items where author (or any other field) contains chris, a search for 2007 works as well, but chris 2007 fails as there is no -one- field where chris and 2007 are located.
Can anybody help me achieve this? My code is:
Code Block
SELECT FT_TBL.ID, FT_TBL.Type, FT_TBL.Author, IsNull(FT_TBL.Author, FT_TBL.Editor + ' (Ed.)') AS CorrectedAuthor, FT_TBL.Editor, FT_TBL.Title, FT_TBL.Abstract, FT_TBL.Comments, FT_TBL.Year, FT_TBL.City, FT_TBL.Publisher, FT_TBL.ISBN, FT_TBL.Pages, FT_TBL.Journal, FT_TBL.Issue, FT_TBL.Hyperlink, FT_TBL.Tags, KEY_TBL.RANK
FROM Sources AS FT_TBL
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Sources, *, @searchQuery) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC;
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I'm trying to use CONTAINSTABLE to do a product search on a number of columns. I want matches on some columns to be weighted higher than for other columns.
It seems like there should be a way to do this with CONTAINSTABLE - I know I can search by multiple strings and weight those matches variably, but what I want is to vary the weight by which column a single term matched. What I have now is a series of UNION queries, which are quite slow:
===================
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, a.Rank, 50 as theWeight
FROM CONTAINSTABLE (Product, ShortName, @theSearchTerm) as a, Product m(NoLock)
WHERE a.[KEY] = m.TitleCode
UNION ALL
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, a.Rank, 40 as theWeight
FROM FREETEXTTABLE (Product, ShortName, @theSearchTerm) as a, Product m(NoLock)
WHERE a.[KEY] = m.TitleCode
UNION ALL
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, a.Rank, 30 as theWeight
FROM FREETEXTTABLE (Product, MatchKeywords, @theSearchTerm) as a, Product m(NoLock)
WHERE a.[KEY] = m.TitleCode
UNION ALL
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, a.Rank, 20 as theWeight
FROM FREETEXTTABLE (Product, ShortDescription, @theSearchTerm) as a, Product m(NoLock)
WHERE a.[KEY] = m.TitleCode
ORDER BY 'theWeight' DESC, m.ShortName
===================
What is the better way?

So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
So the output would look like :
CASE_ID VARIABLE
=====================
1 [ABC],[HDR],[GHHHHH]
2 [ABCSS],[CCHDR],[XXGHHVVVHHH],[KKKJU],[KLK]
SELECT
preop.Case_ID,
dbo.Concatenate( '[' + CAST(preop.value_text AS VARCHAR) + ']' ) as variable
FROM
dbo.TBL_Preop preop
WHERE
preop.Deleted_CD = 0
GROUP BY
preop.Case_ID

I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like:
List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?

Hi I'm using the full-text indexing on a table and I'm trying to implement a search where users can search for words and use wildcards themselves. However I'm working on a method so that can enter a wildcard in the middle of a word to get records where they are unsure of the spelling etc.
For instance, a search of 'Ste*en' should return results like 'Steven' and 'Stephen' etc. So if they are searching for word 'establishment' they can search for 'estab*ment' and it should return all the records using this query:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CONTAINS(myField,'"estab*ment"')
If I do a wildcard at the end e.g: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CONTAINS(myField,'"estab*"')
I get the results I am looking for. But the middle wildcard does not seem to work as expected even though it is the syntax used on MSDN and other SQL info sites.
Is there something I am not doing properly?

Hi There,
I've created a couple of search pages which look at sql server. whenever words or values like "?@~:&£^" etc, or words like for, the and so forth, the page the nasrty error page:
Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words.
In short: is there a way I can stop it doing this. It looks rather horrible. I've looked at form validation but cant find anything that seems to fit. I would imagine there is a simple solution, but I haven't been able to find it so far.
Many thanks

How can you search for the occurance of a whole word in a string? but not return any results that have the word as a substring.
For instance, if I search for the term 'scene' in a column. Then it will only return rows that have the word 'scene' and not those with the word 'scenery'. I've tried the following sql, but it relies on having text either side of the word as well. If the word 'scene' is on the begining or end of the cell then it is not returned.
SELECT Name, Description
FROM tblWine
WHERE Name LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
OR Description LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
Any ideas?

Hi,
Is it possible with SQL Server 2005 to include ignored words in a full-text search? For example, searching for "in force as of"? This gives the same results as searching for "force" only. I've tried to empty the ignored words list (noiseENG.txt), but this does not seem to have any effect.
Also we want to be able to search for strings such as "205/1305-2". Searching with punctuation characters in a query seems to be a problem.
What are the possibillities in SQL Server 2005 with regard to these problems?

Can someone point me in the right direction to write a select query to return the first 10 whole words from a table?
For example, table "testtable" contains a field named "description" with value "here is some test data in order to select the first full ten words from."
The SELECT statement would return the value "here is some test data in order to select the".

I am try to build a query which only matches whole words and so far I've got this.
Code:
SELECT *
FROM tblSearchWords
WHERE CorrectSpelling LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z0-9]blah[^a-zA-Z0-9]%'
This will return rows which contain the string 'blah' without any numeric or alphanumeric characters beside it. However it doesn't return the rows where 'blah' is either at the start or end of the string as it expects any character except a-zA-Z0-0.
Is there any way to accept string when there is nothing on either side as well?
Thanks,
Goran
