So the cluster install forced us to install Full-Text on our cluster (which we don't want to use, but I guess we don't have a choice about installing it). Now I'm going through to update the services from Manual to Automatic (on the appropriate nodes) and I see SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher running.
What is the harm in turning it off if we're not using Full-Text capabilities?
Hello, I've enabled full-text indexing on one of my tables, and the following query used to work: SELECT * FROM TempAttachment WHERE CONTAINS(attachment, 'text')
However, now I get the following error: Msg 9955, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 SQL server failed to communicate with Full-Text Service (msftesql). The system administrator must make sure that same service account is used for both services and the service account has the permission to auto start the full-text service.
I've checked the configuration and verified that both accounts are the same. I've restarted the services, and tried rebooting, and still no luck. I did a search on this error, and found this page from MSDN, which doesn't help me much: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337365.aspx.
Has anybody come across this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
In SQL Server 2005, the SQL Server full text engine (i.e., Microsoft Full Text Filter Daemon Launcher windows service) was installed as a Generic Service cluster resource in a Windows clustered environment.
However, in SQL Server 2012, the full text engine is not appearing as a "resource" within "Failover Cluster Manager" after installation. Do we need to manually configure the full text engine as a Failover Cluster Manager "resource" for SQL 2012? Or is this not necessary? If it needs to be configured, how do you go about doing it (i.e., what resource dependencies would you setup, etc.)
Hello, I have read on the multiple places that filter for full text search of PDF files using FTS2005 is included in the Reader 8 etc. However, I have not found any document or instruction etc on adobe documents, microsoft documents or web that details on how to actually configure the filter. Please help. thanks Kumud
I am running SQL 2008 R2. I have SQL Full-Text Search installed (part of a standard Automated build) - but disabled and switched-off as the applications don't need it. However as a result I get SQL Server error 9954:
SQL Server failed to communicate with filter daemon launch service (Windows error: Windows Error: hr = 0x80070422(failed to retrieve text for this error)). Full-Text filter daemon process failed to start. Full-text search functionality will not be available.
appear in the event / error logs everytime I start SQL server. Is it possible to suppress this error (other than by starting the SQL Full-text service) ...
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:
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"€™ )
Full Text Searches are working on my test server, but not on my production server. My test scenario is as follows:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG FTC_Test AS DEFAULT AUTHORIZATION dbo
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON guest.FtsTest(FullName) KEY INDEX PK_FtsTest ON FTC_TestI wait briefly and then check to see if the index has been populated: SELECT * FROM sys.fulltext_indexescrawl_end_date is not null,
So I'm assuming I don't have to wait anymore before I try some FTS searches. Right? I can't get any queries to return anything, though.
The following tells me the full text item count for the table is zero:
DECLARE @TableId INT SELECT @TableId = id FROM sys.sysobjects WHERE [Name] = 'FtsTest' SELECT OBJECTPROPERTYEX(@TableId, 'TableFulltextItemCount') AS TableFulltextItemCount
As mentioned, the full text search works on my test server. Both of them are SQL 20012 SP1 (11.0.3000) x64 running on WinServer 2008 R2 SP1.
I am new to Full-Text Searches and FileTables. I am working on a resume search system. I created a FileTable and the Share which contains about 51,000 resumes in Word (DOC/DOCX), PDF and TXT formats that were copied over from our main file server. I followed the instructions on adding the Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0, and all searchable file types are listed in sys.fulltext.document_types.
I have a program that searches resumes by First and Last Name and/or E-mail Address. For a while, we thought it was working fine because we were getting hits, but then we noticed some Names and E-mail Addresses we new existed were not showing up in my CONTAINS queries -- but we verified the documents do exist and the Names exist in the File Name and inside the document along with the E-Mail address.
One example I'm working on now cannot find the First/Last Name with CONTAINS(name,"lastname") in a Word DOC file, but I can find the document using LEFT(name,5) = 'Smith'. It's a Word DOC file. For testing purposes, I opened the DOC file in Word, then used Save As to create a TXT and DOCX file within the same folder. Now, both of those are showing up in the CONTAINS but not the original DOC file.
I'm standardizing street addresses and i think full text search, maybe, work fine with my problem. My problem is that I have 2 millon of errors and using "LIKE" dont work correctly. This is what i have now:
UPDATE addresses SET standarAddress = REPLACE (addresses.streetAddress, errors.streetAddress, corrects.streetAddress) FROM corrects INNER JOIN errors ON corrects.id = errors.idCorrects
Hi, 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 (just plain text, no html).Does the filter used for full text indexing of html expect certain tags to be present as standard? E.g. <html> and <body> tags? At present the data I have stored might look like this (no html or body wrapping tags):Example record 1 data: <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">Search for keywords:Example record 2 data: <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">Sorry no results were found for your search.etc.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.UPDATE: I have tried wrapping the text in more usual html tags and re-built the full text index but I still never get any rows returned for my query results. Example of content wrapping tried - <HTML><HEAD><META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN"></HEAD><BODY>Test text.</BODY></HTML>I've also tried stripping all html tags from the content and set the Document Type column = .txt but I still get no rows returned?!?

I have written this sample query to search a full-text indexed table and return the results. If the word occurs more than once I want it to return as a new record and the results show a short summary of the location. I was using 'like', but the full table scans were really slowing it down. Can performance be improved for the following (The results returned by my query are accurate)
Recently we have changed ISP and it seems like our SQL server is having problem starting the service for the Full-Text Service. It keeps saying that the account information is not mapped to the Security Identification Data. So, I tried reinstalling the FTS but it says that the FTS component already exists. What seems to be the problem here. I really need to get this service started....
I'm running sql server on XP at the moment. I want to make use of procedures like FREETEXTABLE and CONTAINS for my local site search engine so I need to have the full text search service installed. The problem is that when I want to add this component by trying to use the sql server standard edition cd the option that says 'Upgrade,remove, or add components to an existing instance of sql server' is grayed out, meaning I can't pick this option. What must I do to get this working since the only available option is to insall a new instance of sql server or client tools? Need help A.S.A.P
I have SQL Server 7.0 installed in a Fail-over cluster and currently, Full-text indexing is not installed, since our full-text index resides on a different physical server. In an attempt to consolidate our servers I am looking at installing full-text indexing on our cluster. I understand that there will probably be issues getting the Full-text indexing service to fail-over, but I'm not too concerned with that.
What I am concerned with, is, will I need to re-install the latest SQL Server 7.0 service pack? Does anyone know of any security holes with an un-patched version of the full-text indexing service?
Any advice on this situation is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I've just had my admin guy start the Full-Text Search service (under Support Services) for a server here. Actually he did it a couple of hours ago. I've checked his computer and the icon shows "started" (ie green traffic light).
From my Enterprise manager, the Full-Text Search icon is still showing "stop" ie red traffic light. Yes, in case you are wondering, I've refreshed, closed and reopened Enterprise manager, and waited quite a while, but my code is definitely still failing on this. Identical code on an identical recordset in another server (which has the full-text icon "green") works fine.
I've already set full-text for the catalog and SELECT fulltextserviceproperty('IsFulltextInstalled') returns 1 for this catalog.
My quetion is: does enabling Full-Text Searching require a Server restart, or is there something else I can try first?
Thanks in advance
-- I hope that when I die someone will say of me "That guy sure owed me a lot of money"
I am getting following error when query using a full-text index:
select * from workitemlongtexts where Contains(words, 'test');
==error message== Msg 7619, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The execution of a full-text query failed. "Service is not running."
I have verified that 1. msftesql service is running, 2. I even rebuilt the full-text index and it didn't help 3. my full-text crawl job is running fine 4. my DB is full-text enabled
Can someone explain what "Service" the error refers to? I am using SQL 2005 Ent SP1.
if I want to use full text search in my program, can I include Full Text Search service in my program setup silently in the same way as including SQL Express and .Net Framework to the setup project, Or I have to Install MS Sql Server 2005 on my customer computer?
I'm totally stuck on this issue and would really appreciate any advice. Here's what's going on...
I'm trying to install SP2 on a SQL 2005 Std x64 cluster and all the components upgrade except the DB Engine, which fails with this error saying the domain group (not the service account) could not be validated for the full-text search service.
I've rebooted both nodes. I've verified that the domain group exists. I even removed the full text search component and I still get the same error.
I've reviewed this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915846 But the ftsgroup registry value mentioned does not exists. I assume it only shows up after sp2 is installed.
Interestingly, I couldn't uninstall full-text search unless I passed the FTSCLUSTERGROUP parameter to the setup.exe command line remove command.
The OS is Windows Server 2003 Ent x64 SP2. Not a domain controller. I'm upgrading from the RTM version of SQL Server.
I've posted the relevant parts of the summary and log files below.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

when i execute a query for the first time whith full text service from visual studio, show me the error 'server not responding' and when i execute this query for second time works perfectly.
I have a handful of databases that are enabled for Full-Text search. After investigating some recent performance issues, I discovered the FullText Catalogs needed to be reorganized. This is a task I knew I wanted to automate, without having to hard-code db names or catalog names. My first thought was to use sp_executesql with dynamic tsql strings. I was quite disappointed to realize that I couldn't use fully qualified names to run either of these commands:
ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG [DBName].[SchemaName].[CatalogName] REORGANIZE ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG [DBName]..[CatalogName] REORGANIZE
My next thought was to create a stored proc on each user db that would do the re-orgs. Then I could have a sql job iterate through the db's and run the sp on each db. Thinking...Hmm...That's do-able, but I don't like it. Add a new db to the server, and I have to remember to create the sp. Relying on my memory to do something isn't always a good idea. Plus, if I have to fix/edit/enhance the sp, I get the pleasure of doing it multiple times on multiple servers. Too much work.
I came up with some code that would dynamically reorganize all the catalogs, but I had to run it while connected to a specific db. How do I run the code while connected to [master], but in the context of a different db? The undocumented proc [sp_MSforeachdb] came to mind. I'd never used it, and was reluctant to do so after reading about other dba's experiences with it. So I came up with my own derivitive, just for this one purpose. The code is below.
CREATE PROCEDURE dba.ReorganizeFullTextCatalogs AS /* Purpose: Reorganizes the FullText Catalogs (as needed) on all user databases.
Inputs: None
History: 02/25/2014DMasonCreated */ --This is the tsql statement that get executed on each db. DECLARE @InnerSql NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'DECLARE @Tsql NVARCHAR(MAX)
I'm using the Full Text Search with the neutral language in the indexed columns. I have no stoplists so everything counts. We changed to neutral language because our customers don't have the need for language specific criteria. They just want raw text search.Everything was working great but then they found a term that they can't search and I can't figure out what's wrong. It comes down to this:
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_fts_parser('"1.2.3.4"', 1033, NULL, 0); SELECT * FROM sys.dm_fts_parser('"1.2.3.4"', 0, NULL, 0);
In the neutral language, the parser will return "3.4", differently than the English language parsing.In the 1033 language, the parser will break all the numbers into words and the result will show correctly.I really don't want to change the language from neutral because it's working for every other query.
So I'm trying out full-text indexing for the first time and, in particular, FileTables in SQL Server 2012. I've followed a Microsoft walkthrough and everything seems to be ok. However, when I query the table using the CONTAINS keyword, I get no results (a regular query to make sure there are records in the table returns the expected number of results).
I'm now trying to troubleshoot, and have been using the FULLTEXTCATALOGPROPERTY function, but I don't understand the results.
If I run SELECT FULLTEXTCATALOGPROPERTY(N'CatlogName',N'ItemCount'), I get a result of 51. There are 96 documents in the NTFS folder where the documents are stored, and the table has 96 records, so I don't know where 51 is coming from. 55 of the documents are .DOC files, the rest are .PDF, and some (or maybe all) of the PDFs are scanned images of documents, which I don't expect to be indexed, so maybe that explains it. And in another thread in these forums, a poster suggests that the result for this function should be either 0 or 1, with 0 meaning that no documents are pending indexing, but maybe I've misunderstood that.
If I run SELECT FULLTEXTCATALOGPROPERTY(N'CatalogName',N'UniqueKeyCount'), I get a result of 2. I have got two full-text indexes in this catalog (one on the FileTable, one on a regular table with FT enabled). Is this result therefore expected? Again, reading online seems to suggest that a result of 0 is desirable, but I don't understand why, and if it is I don't understand why my result is 2!
I've now also run SELECT* FROM sys.dm_fts_index_keywords(DB_ID('DatabaseName'), Object_ID('dbo.FileTableName)), which I believe is supposed to list all of the indexed words from the table specified. I get one row returned, as follows:
keyword: 0xFF display_term: END OF FILE column_id: 2 document_count: 40
So basically, it's not indexed any words at all. And why is the document count only 40 when there are 96 documents in the folder and table?
I am doing a web app on the full text search.My select statement using CONTAINS but it doesn't seem to return all the string that contains the search word I included in the query.For example:
Select CustomerID, customername, from CustomerTable where CONTAINS ((CustomerID), '"430*")
the query result only return all customer id which has space in front 430 or start with 430 ex: "xxx 430xxx" or "430 xxx" or "xxx 430 xxx"
but did not return customerID which doesn't has space in front of it Ex: x430xxx
If I use LIKE '%430%', the result return are both have space in front and don't have space in front.
We're having a bizarre issue with installing our SQL 2012 cluster. On the stand-alone instances, we're able to choose Replication and Data Quality Services from the Database Engine Services without choosing Full-Tex and Semantic Extractions for Search. But when installing the cluster, it won't let us choose the other two without it. In fact, if we click on either Replication or Data Quality, it auto-checks ALL of the features.
My coworker discovered this problem and I was able to replicate it. We're using the SP1 install msi.
Why this is happening with a cluster install but not a stand-alone install?
My install appears to be hanging at the as_cluster_ip_address_cluster_config_Cpu64 part and I'm wondering if it's because it's trying to install Full Text.
We are trying to restore from a backup (.bak) of a sql 2005 database with full text catologs to sql 2012.
We are getting errors saying that the backup file context are different from what we are trying to restore to, even if we try to create a new database from the backup.The new database is just a test database. The source is a production database with full cataologs.
The normal restore from a bak file does not seem to work.
We dont need the full text catalogs in the new database, but cannot change settings in the source production database.
Is there a way to take a backup of the sql 2005 database without the full text cataologs being included ? , without changing setting in the source database beforehand ?
