Search Query Through 3 Different Fields?
Dec 12, 2014
I have 2 tables.
Clients
Contacts (multiple contacts for one client)
I'm trying to do a search that pulls a contacts where the search matches either the First Name, last Name or the clients name. If it does return clients, I'd like it to also return all the contacts associated with it.
I have two problems:
1. The query is not bringing up a lot of clients. In many cases a letter brings nothing back. Like G and H even though A and B return results.
2. If it finds a client it only returns one contact. I'd like it to return all contacts for the client.
Here's my query:
SELECT addressbook.clientid, clients.clientname, addressbook.addressid, addressbook.fname, addressbook.lname FROM clients, addressbook where clients.clientid = addressbook.addressid
AND (addressbook.fname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR addressbook.lname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR clients.clientname LIKE
'" . strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%')

I apologize for the newbie sort of question, but I could not find an answer in an SQL book nor via Google.
I wish to search for a text string in ALL fields of a table. This will be used to provide a simple search box in a web application.
So far, the only method I've found to accomplish this is follows:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE SerialNumber LIKE '%searchstring%' OR UserName LIKE '%searchstring%' OR Location LIKE '%searchstring%' ... etc
My goal is to accomplish something like the following. This, of course, does not execute properly since * can only be used following SELECT, but you can get an idea of the target behavior:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE * LIKE '%searchstring%'
I'm using MSDE with Visual Basic .Net. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks for all help,
Kieran

I am trying to write a simple search page that will search all the fields in a database to find all records that match a user input string. The string could happen anywhere in any of the fields. I have a dataset and can write a query but am unsure what the format is for this simple task. I figured it would look like this:
SELECT Table.*
FROM Table
WHERE * = @USERINPUT
But thats not working. Can someone help.? Thanks..

I've done some simple sql's for searching a field using Like,But this one is different.
I am adding a param named @searchText
I would like to bring back all records in all the fields listedbelow that has that string in the field...
WHERE a.manufacturer = b.manufacturerIDAND a.location = c.locationIDAND a.Status = d.statusIDAND a.EquipmentType = e.IDAND a.calLab = f.ID AND a.testTechnology = g.id AND (c.locationID = @location OR @location = 0)
So, each line/field above I want to search for the string and includein the dataset.
Anyone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Zath

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

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.

I'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

Hi,
I remember seeing a fancy query that checked for multiple fields in a table (I think using a select statement in the where clause but not sure), but can't remember how to do it... here is what I want to do (and maybe there is a much easier way). Thanks!
Table1
id item color
1 shoe red
2 shoe blue
3 coat green
4 coat black
Table2
item color
shoe red
coat green
I want everything in Table1 where item and color are not a match.
So my results should be:
2 shoe blue
4 coat black
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question... it's been that kind of a day!
Thanks!

I am having hard time figuring out what query I need to write.
What I want to do is, when users enter a word into a textbox, it displays results similar to it. Something similar to what Google does.
This is what I am doing now.
For example I will use "John Smith"
1. I get the first 3 letters of the string "Joh"
2. Get the last letter of the string "h"
3. and this is what I search for "Joh%h%"
This works, but I still have some problems. I want to be able to search like Google, where it recognizes words. Does anybody know how I can do this, or send me a link with an example?
Thank you

hi all
I have the follwoing search page:
several text boxes in case they want to search for SSN, first name,
last name, zipcode, several dorpdown lists, and a set of radio buttons.
I want to create the SQL statement to display the results
I am checking if any of the text boxes has anything in it, if yes add
"where something = value" to the query, if not then skip... now let's
say it goes through textbox 1 and finds it empty, so it jumps to the
second one it find info in it, how do I deal with the "and" clause
within the query?
any tips are fine.. (im using c#)

I am writing a small search feature to return a list of companies whose name "Begins with" a certain string (up to 5 chars) provided by the user via a textbox. I want the results to only return results that begin with the letter/letters specified. Below I will put the code that I came up with that isn't working quite how I expected. I am new to this so any assistance and short explanation would be very much apperciated.
sql="SELECT distinct cm.cmmst_id, cm.cm_compno, cm.cm_cname1 + ' ' + cm.cm_cname2 AS cm_cname1, cm_tele, cm_fax, cm_s16 "
sql=sql & "FROM cmmst cm "
sql=sql & "WHERE cm_cname1 + ' ' + cm_cname2 LIKE '%" companyNameBegins,"'","''") & "%' " sql=sql & "AND (cm_mbtyp='M' OR cm_mbtyp='SUBDIV') " sql=sql & "ORDER BY cm_s16 DESC, cm_cname1 ASC"
companyNameBegins is the string passed in by the user
Thanks,

Hello-
I am having a difficult time figuring out the differences between the following 2 queries. The first query ( which should return around 8000 records) when run against a Sql7 DB with 70000 records will always timeout (timeout set at 30 secs), but the 2nd query will return the correct amount of records ( about 8000 ) in under 8 secs.
Could someone shed some light on this for me?
Thank you

Hello All!
I'm building a serch page on website. It basicly searches 2 tables. Right now, the way I have it so the user can enter a value in one of the fields, and not the others. And it will return the value. For example, put in '34' in the age field, it will return all people with 34. Now if you add 'Jones' to the last name field, it will return all people with the age of 34, and all people with Jones.
But what if I want it so it returns only the people with the age 34, and Jones. But leave the other fields blank. The later than add 'Jim' to the first name, so now it will return 34, jones, jim. I tried to use the AND operator, but then it requires that field to be filled. Here is my code.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SrchActiveII]
@FName nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@LName nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@DOB nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@Acct nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@Login nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@Status nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@Rmark nvarchar(255)=NULL,
@Room nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@Age nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@Type nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@Misc bit = NULL
AS
BEGIN
SELECT Active_Orders.First_Name, Active_Orders.Last_Name, Active_Orders.Account_Number, Order_Status.Status, Active_Orders.Remarks,
Locations.Loct_Desc, Active_Orders.Rm_Desc, Active_Orders.Age, Active_Orders.Type, Active_Orders.Stat,

FROM Active_Orders INNER JOIN
Order_Status ON Active_Orders.Status_ID = Order_Status.Status_ID INNER JOIN
Locations ON Active_Orders.Location_ID = Locations.Location_ID
WHERE (Active_Orders.First_Name =@FName) OR (First_Name IS NULL) OR
(Active_Orders.Last_Name =@Lname) OR (Last_Name IS NULL) OR
(Active_Orders.DOB = @DOB) OR (DOB IS NULL) OR
(Active_Orders.Account_Number = @Acct) OR (Account_Number IS NULL) OR

I have a table with 6 fields, and I will have all 6 parameters passed in - is there any way to write a query to give me rows based on matching ANY combination of 4 fields out of the 6 parameters passed in ? This is driving me crazy... short of doing an OR statement for all the different combinations - I have no idea how to do this....
This is what I have so far -
SELECT @nodeMachineType = nodeMachineType,
@nodePKID = NodePKID,
@biosVar = Bios,
@computerNameVar = ComputerName,
@diskVolumeVar = DiskVolume,
@guidVar = Guid,
@macAddressVar = MacAddress,
@motherboardVar = motherboard
FROM Nodes_Active
WHERE
case when Bios = @bios then 1 else 0 end +
case when ComputerName = @computerName then 1 else 0 end +
case when DiskVolume = @diskVolume then 1 else 0 end +
case when guid = @guid then 1 else 0 end +
case when macAddress = @macAddress then 1 else 0 end +
case when MotherBoard = @motherboard then 1 else 0 end >= 4
