Hi,
I would like to use keywords inside a record to search for - like a
searchengine.
How can I design the table? Right now I would store data in Memo-Column in a
format like ";apple;banana;lemon;". I would use a INSTR(ring)-function - but
I wonder if the performance is still OK then - even when I index the field.
Are there maybe even better ways?
Thanx in advance.

Hi,I would like to have a full-text search from a sql server database in my aspx page. I have tried to do it by creating a Dataset with a DataTable where there is a query like:
SELECT title, yearFROM ProjectsWHERE title like N'%@Search%'
Problem is with the like operator - the visual studio does not reconize the @Search as a parameter, as it reconnizes it in the query below (which works fine by the way):
SELECT Projects.*, theme AS Expr1FROM ProjectsWHERE (theme = @theme)
Can anybody help me how to deal with this problem, which is the best way to have a full text search?
Cheers, ArtoV
I have a following problem. I have installed the
Microsoft Search Service. It is visible in the Service
Manager and is shown as running. The platform is a
Windows XP professional machine running SQL Server 2000
developer. I am using the service off the local host. I
can not enable the Full-Text search on the database as
that field is grayed out in the tools menu. Having read
the KB article 270671 I tried to use the stored procedure
sp_fulltext_database 'enable' to achieve the desired
result, but recieved an error 7609 Full-Text Search is
not installed, or a full-text component cannot be
loaded. At least according to the Service Manager the
Microsoft Search service is up and running. Any ideas as
to what is causing this. Thanks a lot.

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
View 3 Replies View RelatedOur 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?

How can I search throught DOCX (MS Word 2007) documents by SQL Server 2005 Full Text Search engine?
Should I something download?
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.%';
for example:
SELECT * from [table1] WHERE CONTAINS([msgcomment], '"fast" NEAR "performance"')
would always slower than
SELECT * from [table1] WHERE [msgcomment] = '%fast%performance%'
Why? and how can it be solved? can you help me?

I'm experiencing an anomaly with my Full text index.
Setup : SQL Server 2005
Indexed Table:
Assets
ID - int (PK, auto increment)
Ref - varchar(50)
[code]....
I have re-built the full-text index, no change.
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" ')
Can anyone tell me how to search an SQL database for a given key word in a textbox? I basically have a database that has a qualifications column and this column needs to be searched for the data given in the textbox. Which is the best method to search for the data? Is it a simple SQL query or an XML based search engine type? Can anyone give any suggestions regarding this? If XML is efficient then how do I use it to query my database, as I'm pretty new in XML based searching.Thanks

Can we do text search in sql server 7.0 ?
if yes then what is the tool required for it?
before I wade in and try to create a text search facility on my SQL server DB, can somebody point me in the right direction for a search ranking SQL query?
I need the user to input two or three keywords into a search field and for the (small) DB to return a handful of rows in order of popularity of the keywords.
I gather from my other post that I will need to be mindful of SQL injections but that's another issue.
I just need some pointers at this stage.
Thanks folks

Hello !
With SQL Server Management Studio Express I have created a catalog and a index.Here is the code :
create fulltext catalog myfirstcatalogcreate unique index myfirstindex on northwind.dbo.customers(companyname)create fulltext index on northwind.dbo.customers(companyname)key index myfirstindex ON myfirstcatalogWITH CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO
With SQL Server Management Studio Express and the following command the full text search is working fine.
select companynamefrom northwind.dbo.customerswhere contains(companyname, ' "blauer" ')
I have a big problem :
When I try to use this database (NOTRHWIND.MDF) into my .aspx file with VWD 2008 I get an error :
Cannot use full-text search in user instance.
Can you tell me what can I do to make use of full-text search inside my aspx pages ?
Thank You !
does anyone have code that shows how to separate individual words from a sentence.
e.g. i have a list of questions and answers in my database and have the following query for it:
SELECT question, Answer
FROM QuestionsAnswer
WHERE FREETEXT(Question, 'i want to travel around the world and learn about cooking')
so i want to extend the above query so that takes each key word (travel, cooking, learn) to find out how frequently that particular word appears in the question (for ranking purposes).
I know freetexttable does rank results, but they don't seem accurate enough for what i need to do.
HELP!!!
I have to create a search textbox where if i key in the word "dog",it will search against a field called "Name" in a table.Then it will return all records where the text/data in the "Name" field contains the word "dog".For example,it will return the records where the text/data in the "Name" field has words such as "hotdog","doggie","dog barking","big dog" etc etc.
Can i use simple SQL for this or do i need to configure the full text search service on SQL server 2000 and use the FREETEXT predicate?Thank you in advance for any replies.

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,

I have a series of stored procedures defined in a SQL7 database and want search through all their code to find a particular text value (say the contents of a raiserror message for exampl). How can I do this without having to go into each one seperately and scroll through the code? Is it possible to do it from within SQL itself?
Thanks!
