T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Search Special Characters In Column Of Table
Jul 14, 2014I am using SQL Server 2008. In one of my table, one column has values like
"MFY RLHH CSQÉ"
"Aamj Gxmolwn Slf Yytrzgan Hiwd Fnlmyw"

SQL 2012 :: FullText Search - Can Search Terms Come From Another Table
Mar 25, 2015I have a table that contains words that will be used to search another table where FullText index has been created on searchable columns. I'm basically trying to run something like this:
SELECT t1.col1, t2.col3
FROM tbl1 t1, tbl2 t2
WHERE CONTAINS (t1.col1, t2.col1)
I know this won't work but is there a way to join these two tables so the words (t2.col1) can be passed as search conditions? There is no common key on both tables so normal join won't work. I'm trying to find a way to pass the search words from one table to another.

SQL 2000 MS Search: Boolean Search Doesn't Work When Search By Phrase
Aug 9, 2006I'm just wonder if this is a bug in MS Search or am I doing something wrong.
I have a query below
declare @search_clause varchar(255)
set @Search_Clause = ' "hepatitis b" and "hepatocellular carcinoma"'
select * from results
where contains(finding,@search_clause)
I don't get the correct result at all.
If I change my search_clause to "hepatitis" and "hepatocellular carcinoma -- without the "b"
then i get the correct result.
It seems MS Search doesn't like the phrase contain one letter or some sort or is it a know bug?
Anyone know?
Thanks

Search For A Column With Certain String
Oct 1, 2013I have access to a database's web front end and a limited amount of access to the server.
I am trying to find out what column a certain string is in.
I can see some text on the front end via the web that a user enters and then submits. This information must go to the back end of the database but I dont know where it goes...
I am able to provide a unique Sequence number that it would be linked with and obviously I have the string that im looking for its column name but other then that I dont know what I can do.
I don't have write access to the database so I am unable to make procedures. I am also not really aware how the front end works or if I would be able to find the script that deals with the text after the user hits "save"...

Wildcard Search - Column Value Containing % Character
May 8, 2006Hi All,
I have a company table with CompanyName and Address details.
In the Company Name field - I have got companies with names like - 'The 1% Club', '99% Pure Water', 'The 1% Golfer' etc...
I want to search for Companies with % using the LIKE clause - Say for ex.
SELECT CompanyName from Company WHERE CompanyName LIKE 'The 1%%'
I was expecting the above query to return - All Companies starting with 'The 1%' - So from the above list - I expected it to return - 'The 1% Club' and 'The 1% Golfer'.
Unfortunately the query isn;t accepting % in the WHERE LIKE clause except for the wildcard character.
Is there a way out to escape the Wildcard Characters present in the Field Values while searching.
Thanks,
Loonysan

Transact SQL :: Search Substrings In Column Values

Now I want to find all rows in B which contain at least one string of A and create a result table X with all found rows in B. B should contain the found keys and all found substrings for this key (separated with a comma)
The solution I am looking for may not use a Cursor and may not use the CONTAIN-Statement (fulltextsearch feature)..

Search A Column Of Comma Delimited Numbers (was Help With Sql Query)
Nov 30, 2005Hi, I need to search a column in my database (varchar:50) that contains a comma delimited string of numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10). Currently, I am doing the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE clubs_belongs_to LIKE '%1%'
Where 1 is the number I'm searching for. The problem with the query above is that it returns records that contain 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. in the clubs_belongs_to field. I want the query to only return those people who belong to club number 1, not 10, 11, 12, etc. Please help. Thanks in advance. I have tried using IN instead of LIKE, but that didn't seem to get the results I wanted either.
Transact SQL :: Search A String In A Column Which Is Enclosed By Quotations
Jul 2, 2015I need to categorize some rows of a column into specific type. Criteria for the category search is to find a string which is enclosed at both the ends "_"
Example:
_you_,
are_you_,
are_you_jack
But when I give condition like '%_you_% I end up getting records which are like "areyou_".
create table #test
(n varchar(30))
insert into #test values
('sql_2012'),
('ssis_msbi_'),
('ssrs_msbi'),
('ssasmsbi_')
select n,
case
when n like '%_msbi_%' then 'yes'
else 'no'
end as type
from #test
In the above query I need type as "yes" only for "ssis_msbi_". But the above query results with "yes" even for ssasmsbi_. What I need to do, to get just the data which has "_msbi_" in it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFull Text Search And CONTAINSTABLE - Can I Weight By Column?
Aug 8, 2006I'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?
No Results Returned For Full Text Search On Varbinary(max) Column
Jul 10, 2007Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I
have a table which contains text resources for my application. The text
resources are multi-lingual so I've read that if I add a html language
indicator meta tag e.g.<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES">and
store the text in a varbinary column with a supporting Document Type
column containing ".html" of varchar(5) then the full text index
service should be intelligent about the language word breakers it
applies when indexing the text. (I hope this is correct technique for
best multi-lingual support in a single table?)However, when I come to query this data the results always return 0 rows (no errors are encountered). e.g.DECLARE @SearchWord nvarchar(256)SET @SearchWord = 'search' -- Yes, this word is definitely present in my resources.SELECT * FROM Resource WHERE CONTAINS(Document, @SearchWord)I'm a little puzzled as Full Text search is working fine on another table that employs an nvarchar column.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.
