Searching For Whole Words?
Dec 21, 2005
How can you search for the occurance of a whole word in a string? but not return any results that have the word as a substring.
For instance, if I search for the term 'scene' in a column. Then it will only return rows that have the word 'scene' and not those with the word 'scenery'. I've tried the following sql, but it relies on having text either side of the word as well. If the word 'scene' is on the begining or end of the cell then it is not returned.
SELECT Name, Description
FROM tblWine
WHERE Name LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
OR Description LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
Any ideas?

Hi,
Is it possible with SQL Server 2005 to include ignored words in a full-text search? For example, searching for "in force as of"? This gives the same results as searching for "force" only. I've tried to empty the ignored words list (noiseENG.txt), but this does not seem to have any effect.
Also we want to be able to search for strings such as "205/1305-2". Searching with punctuation characters in a query seems to be a problem.
What are the possibillities in SQL Server 2005 with regard to these problems?

I need to build a search function for my site. So there is a single text box for the users to type in their search string. I have been asked that I need to break the user's search string into separate words. So if the user enters: "This is my search query", I need to break it into: "This" "is" "my" "search" "query" and then search for all these words.- Can I break a string into separet words using SQL?- How do I remove funny / dangerous characters from the search string?- If I have to break the search string using a programming language, I would have to run the search query for each word. If I run the search query for each word, How do I combine the search result for the user. For instance, if I search for "my" and find some result, then search for "search" and find some results, how do I display a SINGLE search result to the user.thanks

Using VWD I have created a search feature using the LIKE clause. The filter expression on my SQLDataSource allows the user to search the Description field of a database and yield a result that contains the exact word or phrase entered into a textbox. Assuming that the user enters more than one word, my understanding is that the search result is limited to database rows that contain the EXACT phrase (such as found in an advanced Google search using the “with the exact phrase” option). The current filter expression is: Description LIKE '%{0}%' For example, if “John Smith” is typed into the search textbox, the results will include a row with: 1. “John Smith is my neighbor” but NOT a row with 2. “John is my neighbor. His last name is Smith”. How does one modify the filter expression so that the search result is like the Google “with all the words” search option, where the search results are limited to records in which all the words typed into the textbox are present but not necessarily in the EXACT continuous order? In the example above, BOTH Descriptions would be returned in the search results when “John Smith” in typed into the search textbox. Thanks for any help you can provide in helping me refine my search options.

Hi,I'd be interested in people's thoughts about the following. A user on my site will be searching for a venue name, and that could officially include a sponsor which the user might not search for. Now I am using the AutoCompleteDropdown from the AJAX Control Toolkit, so the user will start typing in a few characters and the results will be returned. I can generate the results from sql by doing a simple LIKE '%' + @searchTerm + '%' however, this fills me with great fear of table scans. At the moment, we'd be querying against a table of 5K records, but our application is very new.I'm thinking one option is to split the words into another table - a one to many relationship to hold each word of the venue. The benefit of this would be that you could do a:LIKE @term + '%'but then I have the cost of the join. (And the added complexity which is not a major issue)Any thoughts/tips?Thanks!

Hi I'm using the full-text indexing on a table and I'm trying to implement a search where users can search for words and use wildcards themselves. However I'm working on a method so that can enter a wildcard in the middle of a word to get records where they are unsure of the spelling etc.
For instance, a search of 'Ste*en' should return results like 'Steven' and 'Stephen' etc. So if they are searching for word 'establishment' they can search for 'estab*ment' and it should return all the records using this query:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CONTAINS(myField,'"estab*ment"')
If I do a wildcard at the end e.g: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CONTAINS(myField,'"estab*"')
I get the results I am looking for. But the middle wildcard does not seem to work as expected even though it is the syntax used on MSDN and other SQL info sites.
Is there something I am not doing properly?

Hi There,
I've created a couple of search pages which look at sql server. whenever words or values like "?@~:&£^" etc, or words like for, the and so forth, the page the nasrty error page:
Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words.
In short: is there a way I can stop it doing this. It looks rather horrible. I've looked at form validation but cant find anything that seems to fit. I would imagine there is a simple solution, but I haven't been able to find it so far.
Many thanks
Stuart

Can someone point me in the right direction to write a select query to return the first 10 whole words from a table?
For example, table "testtable" contains a field named "description" with value "here is some test data in order to select the first full ten words from."
The SELECT statement would return the value "here is some test data in order to select the".
Thanks in advance!

I am try to build a query which only matches whole words and so far I've got this.
Code:
SELECT *
FROM tblSearchWords
WHERE CorrectSpelling LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z0-9]blah[^a-zA-Z0-9]%'
This will return rows which contain the string 'blah' without any numeric or alphanumeric characters beside it. However it doesn't return the rows where 'blah' is either at the start or end of the string as it expects any character except a-zA-Z0-0.
Is there any way to accept string when there is nothing on either side as well?
Thanks,
Goran

Hello all. I've been pulling my hair out for the last few weeks trying to come up with a statement that will do what I want. I'm hoping someone can lend some help.
Basically I have a table of articles with titles. I want to go thru the titles and find out what words show up the most. For example, if I had these two article titles in two records:
Microsoft develops new software for NASA
NASA blames software problem on Microsoft
I would get the following results - the word and the number of times it appears:
Microsoft 2
NASA 2
Software 2
The statement should ignore those words that only appear once. It would be nice to skip static words like the, and, a, etc.. (Or words 3 characters or less)
I have fulltext query enabled on the table which works great for searching, but not for what I want it to do.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I have a client who wants to have a function to have a system create a validation system for users who register for a system. It would email them a registration code, which they want to be two or three random words strewn together.
So, I'm looking for a big table of words - random, glossary terms, etc. Does anyone have anything like this? (A flat file that I can import would be fine.)
Thanks!

This works when @searchString is used in containstable (provided searchString has value)...
set @searchStringNoneOfWords = 'not(Airplane)'
SET @searchString = @searchString + ' AND ' + @searchStringNoneOfWords
This does NOT work when @searchString is used in containstable...
set @searchStringNoneOfWords = 'not(Airplane)'
SET @searchString = @searchStringNoneOfWords
I understand it is because the syntax is AND NOT, but what if I have a list of words that I do not want included? How do I start out with a NOT using containstable? It is kind of like Google's advanced search except that if you enter a word in the "without words" section with the other fields blank it would return everything under the sun except for things found with those words.

Hi all,I have a table of text and associated data. I want to break apart the textinto individual words, yet retain the data in other columns. For example:Sentence: Chapter:--------------------------I like cats. 1Joe likes dogs. 2Should become:Word: Chapter:--------------------------I 1like 1cats 1Joe 2likes 2dogs. 2Are there built-in SQL parsing functions, If not, what text handlingfeatures would be most useful for building them?Thanks!

I guess there is no built in functions to do this but I have a function that replaces anything that is not A-Z with a space and returns @data. What I additionally need the function to do is scrunch up @data (remove all blanks betwwen each word so that 'I ran very fast' would be 'Iranveryfast').
What I need help in doing is the "Scrunch" part. Is there a way I could move the @Data to something like @DataHold and inspect each character, if it is not a blank, move that character back to @Data?
This was pretty easy for me to do in C# with a while loop, but I do not know how to get it done in SQL Server 2005.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I have a project in which I have about 20,000 records in sql database table.
What I would like to do is generate a query that lists all the unique words in a particular field acros the entire table so as to generate a glossary of words.
if we had a table that looked like
ID Description
001 This is the first record
002 This is the second record
003 This is not the first record
and the query was run on the description field, then the result I would like to see is
This
is
the
first
second
not
I hope this makes sense. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,I'm trying to remove certain words from my Order clause. For example on iTunes they have removed the word 'The' from the start of artist names so that all the bands that start with 'The' don't appear grouped together. I'm trying to do a similar thing with University names so that all universities which begin with 'University of' or 'The' don't appear together.Is this possible?Thanks for your help!,Curt.

Hi All,
I want to give the users the ability to highlight words in sentences on the page in different colors.
Please see link below for an example(watch out for URL wrapping):
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:fKHSRIxERbUJ:www.codeguru.com/columns/DotNet/article.php/c6603/+XML+serialization+in+.net&hl=en
My MASTER table that contains text is very simple:
TEXT_ID INT
TEXT varchar
I was thinking of something like creating another table to keep track of selection criteria:
USER_NAME varchar // keeps track of which user made the selection
TEXT_ID INT // points to the text id in the MASTER table
START_POS INT // start position of the selection
END_POS INT // end position of the selection
COLOR INT // color of the selection
The thing I don't like about this method, is if user(s) have many words higlighted in the sentences, this table may get very large.
I also thought of maybe combining START_POS, END_POS & COLOR into comma delimited entries:
EX: 1:5:240, 25:30:125 // START_POS:END_POS:COLOR
The thing I don't like about this method, the parsing calculations may take a while to execute.
My goal is to stream as much text data as possible and make it as fast as possible. How does Google or any one else do it?
P.S. Having a copy of a MASTER table with HTML tags in TEXT field is not an option.
Thanks,
Vlad
