Need Help On Full-Text Search Thesaurus
Aug 13, 2007
Hello: Please let me know if another forum is a better place to post! I have successfully enabled SQL Server 2005 Full Text (MSFTESQL) on my database, created the FT Catalog in Storage, and defined a FT Index for a table ( 1 table for testing).
I have also created an expansion and replacement entry in the Thesaurus (tsENU.xml) and removed the comments. I have restarted the server and the FTS Service, In addition, (per your comments to another user) I have used sqlcmd to confirm my default language of 1033.
I am unable to get any results from the Thesaurus file. I am able to run queries against the index using CONTAINS and FREETEXT. I get results - however I only get the same thing I would get from the CONTAINS portion of the query.
Also ..SQLSERVER2995MSFTEUser$.. has permission on the FTData folder.
// This query //
SELECT name, description FROM table
WHERE CONTAINS(description, ' FORMSOF(THESAURUS, blender) ')
// on this Thesaurus located in this C: folder MSSQL.1MSSQLFTData sENU.xml //
<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">
<thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">
<diacritics = false/>
<case caseflag="false"></case>
<expansion>
<sub>blender</sub>
<sub>chopper</sub>
<sub>grinder</sub>
<sub>food processor</sub>
</expansion>
</thesaurus>
</XML>
// returns this //
A search for blender returns all strings with the exact word blender in them - not even any plural forms. A search for blend or grind returns nothing. FREETEXT does a little better returning blender, blenders, blending. Still no grind,chop, or food process.
Appreciate your help, Thank you.

I am trying to get the full-text search thesaurus to work in Sql
Server 2005 Express edition. I live in the USA so I assume the
tx.ENU.xml is the appropriate file to modify. I used Notepad to
modify the tx.ENU.xml file as follows:<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">
<thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">
<diacritics_sensitive>0</diacritics_sensitive>
<expansion>
<sub>littre</sub>
<sub>leydig</sub>
</expansion>
<replacement>
<pat>NT5</pat>
<pat>W2K</pat>
<sub>Windows 2000</sub>
</replacement>
<expansion>
<sub>run</sub>
<sub>jog</sub>
</expansion>
</thesaurus>
</XML> I closed Management Studio and reopened to allow MSFTESQL service to restart. Then I ran these queries:SELECT FullDocNo
FROM FullDocuments
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, 'littre') *** returned 3 rows ***SELECT FullDocNo
FROM FullDocuments
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, 'leydig') *** returned 169 rows ***SELECT FullDocNo
FROM FullDocuments
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, ' FORMSOF(THESAURUS, littre) ') *** returned 6 rows ***
Thus the Thesaurus does not seem to be working since it should
have returned at least 169 rows. I rebooted my entire system to
make sure Sql Server is starting fresh. Any help in sorting this out will be greatly appreciated.

Dear All,
I am not able to let thesaurus in SQL Server 2005 works.
My full indexed table has 4 records as follows:
tony
roby
mary
antony
The following is my tsENU.xml file:
<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">
<thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">
<diacritics = false/>
<expansion>
<sub>Tony</sub>
<sub>Roby</sub>
<sub>Mary</sub>
</expansion>
</thesaurus>
</XML>
After I execute the following query:
SELECT * FROM Person WHERE CONTAINS(*,'FORMSOF(Thesaurus,"Tony")')
the result is only the record containing 'Tony' but I need Tony, Roby and Mary to be treated as synonimus and for that reason the result should be the 3 records containing all the 3 names.
Which is my mistake?
thanks and regards
Buzz

Does anyone know where I can get a Thesaurus (or list) of People's Names and their relationships?
For Example:
Bill = Billy = Billie = Will = Willie = William
Sue = Susie = Susan = Suzanne
I can build the needed xml file to become a Thesaurus for MSSQL Full Text Searching. But I can't find a list of related people names anywhere.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Hi,
I€™ve been trying to add keywords to the thesaurus used for SQL Server 2005 Full Text services but do not seems to get any improved results.
For example, I have a catalogue of article titles which contains titles such as €˜CRM€™ and then some others use the words €˜Customer Relationship Management€™, the ideal solution I would have thought was SQL Servers thesaurus support, I€™ve been though and added the values:
<expansion>
<sub>customer relationship management</sub>
<sub>crm</sub>
</expansion>
to the txGlobal.xml file in the SQL Servers FTData directory, I then amended by test query to use this clause:
FORMSOF(THESAURUS,"CRM")
The idea being that when I search for CRM it will bring back articles with Customer Relationship Management also. However I€™m just getting results for the same results as for the word 'CRM' and no expansion is taking place it would seem.
Would anyone be able to clarify what the best approach to making this work would be:
Do I need to restart the SQL Server FullText service after making any changes to the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
Do I need to restart the SQL Server service after making any changes to the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
Do you need to re-populate the full text catalogues after making a change the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
If this syntax correct when trying to utilise the thesaurus?
CONTAINSTABLE (Article_Metadata, *, €˜FORMSOF(THESAURUS,"CRM")€™ )
(It doesn;t give any errors, just no improved results over:
CONTAINSTABLE (Article_Metadata, *, €˜"CRM"€™ )
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ed

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;
[Code] ....

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?

Please help me to create an SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedure for using prefix and suffix terms.
Example:
Say I want to find "Terminator" (1984).
I want to be able to use "Term" or "ator" as search results and still return the proper record.
Here is my Stored Procedure creation sql:
CREATE PROCEDURE sps_searchTitles(@searchTerm varchar(255)) AS
SELECT * FROM Video
WHERE FREETEXT (Video.*, '"*@searchTerm*"')
GO
--- The above does not appear to properly check both prefix ("Term---") and suffix ("---ator") terms.
I am trying to accomplish what is similarly done with LIKE '%term%'.
thanks, YM

I have Sql server 2005 SP2.
I enabled it for Full Text search. Substring search where i enter *word* doesn't return any row.
I have a table testtable where description has word Extinguisher.
If i run a query with *ting* it doesn't return any row.
select * from testtable where contains(description,'"*xting*"') ;
But it works if i do
select * from testtable where contains(description,'"Exting*"') ;
The Full text search document says it supports substring search.
Is it an issue with sql server 2005?Please help.

I am using Sql Server 2014 Express edition.I have a table with a varchar(max) column. I have created a full text search that use the stoplist "system". column has this struct: xxx.yyy.zzz.... where xxx, yyy, zzz... are numbers, like 123.345.123123.366456...I can have rows like that:
123.345
123.345
123.345.444
123.345.555
123.345.666
123.345.444.777
123.345.444.888
123.345.555.999
I am trying this query:
select * from Mytable where
contains(MyColumn, '123.345.')
I gues the contains would return all the rows with column contains 123.345, but this does not return all the expected rows, only one row.I have tried to replace "." with "-" but the result is the same.I have also tried with '123.345.*. In this case I have got more results, but no all the exptected rows.If I use this query:
select * from MyTable where
MyCOlumn like '123.345.%';

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.
Yannick

Are there any big differences between the two search techniques? It seems like they are both very similar.
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE TEXTFIELD1 LIKE '%DATABASES%'
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE CONTAINS (TEXTFIELD1 ,' "DATABASES" ')

After following all of the steps in Swynk's Guide to Full Text Search, I still can't seem to retrieve any records from the full-text search. I get messages saying that I created the Index correctly and that I successfully populated the catalog. But when I View the Properties of the catalog, the Unique Word Count = 1 (but there are thousands of words in the table).
I know that there is a record with the word "help" in one of the full-text indexed columns, but when I call Contains(column-name, 'help'), I recieve an empty recordset.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can try next?
Thanks for any help,

Greetings ! Has anyone seen a problem in SQL 7 where you create a full text catalog, define an index on a table, and run 'populate', and end up with an empty catalog ? It runs for a while during the population, and there are no messages in the logs, but the 'item count' property of the catalog is 0.
Also you can run a query that uses the index (i.e. uses 'CONTAINS') and you receive no error, and no results.
I've set this up on other servers, so I know it works, but can find no mention of this problem anywhere.
TIA
Eric

Hi, I got a problem in my SQL2000 server full-text search function. When I created the full-text catalog and index on tables, I got the message showing it is successful. But when I checked the properties of the catalog, I found "item count" is zero. Apparently, it didn't populate any data into index. What could the possible reason be? Any idea? I appreciate your comments.

Hi everyone
I am using SQL server 2000 with SP3 on Windows 2003 server.
I have scheduled a job to populate a full text index incrementally. Everytime it runs the job to populate the index table it writes some messages into event log.
Like this:
1.
Event Type : Information
Event Source : Microsoft Search
Event Category: Gatherer
Event ID : 3019
Date :8/7/2004
Time :2:21:00 PM
User : N/A

Event Source : Microsoft Search
Event Category: Gatherer
Event ID : 3047
Date :8/7/2004
Time :2:21:00 PM
User : N/A

Description:
The end of the incremental crawl for project <SQL Server SQL00002000009> has been detected. The Gatherer successfully processed 998 documents totaling 0K. It failed to filter 0 documents. 998 documents were modified. 0 URLs could not be reached or were denied access.
The event log is getting filled frequently.
Is there any way to stop this messages?
It is normal for Microsoft Search to write this message into EventLog?
Even though there is no chanage in the database it give the above messages.
Any one know the reason please help.
Quick reply is appreaciated.
