Creating Search Strings

Nov 29, 2007

Hello folks

I'm tring to create a search function on a page that searches a database fields. But the problem I am having is that, instead of a user typing in a key word, the have to type in the exact phrase to get a result from the db.

 For example...

With my current code, if a user wants to look for "newbie .net developers in ireland", they would have to type in that exact phrase. But i need to create a function, where the user only has to type in keywords to get a result. For example "developers london"

Heres my current codepublic static DataSet Searchgroup (string group_name)

{

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from TG_User_Created_Groups where group_name =@group_name", conn);cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@group_name", group_name));

DataSet dst = new DataSet();SqlDataAdapter dtr = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);

dtr.Fill(dst);return dst;

}

 

can anyone offer advise or know of any tutorials around that might demonstrate how I need to do this?

 

Cheers!

Using Variable Number Of Search Strings With VBA

Mar 5, 2015

I have created a kind of search function in my Excel sheet where the user can select multiple items from different listboxes.

To save the items I use an array. So in one case only 1 items off the array is filled, but another time maybe 3 items are filled in the array.

I use the array to search in a SQL database (this is string rva(i) in the code). But when the array is empty it results in an error.

This is what I have so far. (the rule at the bottom won't work also )

rc.Open "SELECT [Datum],[RvA_Nr], [RvA_Letter], [Afdeling], [EVAL], [Matrix], [Component], [AS3000], [AP04], [Rec] FROM dbo.QHSE_2ndline_history " _
& "WHERE [Afdeling] = '" & afd & "' AND [Datum] >= '" & datum1 & "' AND [Datum] <= '" & datum2 & "' AND " _
& "CASE WHEN '" & rva(1) & "' <> '' then [RvA_Nr] = '" & rva(1) & "' END AND" _
& "([Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(1) & "%' OR [Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(2) & "%' OR [Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(3) & "%' OR

[Code] .....

Search Strings, Stored In A Table...?

Dec 21, 2007

Hey, i have multiple search strings and I don't want to keep track of the search strings in SQL format.

As in, i don't want to do this anymore:

Select *
From tbl_Name
where FirstName = 'John' or

FirstName = 'Mike' or
FirstName Like 'Jen%' or
...
and the list continues for at least a 100...


what i want to do is store all the search values in a table and then join on that table as a search...

Create Table as tbl_SearchValues
[FirstName] as Varchar(50)

Insert Table tbl_SearchValues values ('John', 'Mike', 'Jen%')


Select *
From tbl_name n Join tbl_SearchValues s
on n.FirstName Like s.FirstName

This doesn't work cause I tried it... but does anyone know a different workaround??

Custom SiteMap - Search By Several Strings In One Query

Mar 4, 2008

I am building myself a datadriven menu control and I have got one table where I store all menu items as rows. On each row there is a column for roles, in this column I have added one or several roles as a string. Today I can retrieve all menu items (rows) for a requested role, but how can I retrieve menu items for two or more roles? I have each role inserted as rows in a temp table (@Role), if that makes it easier?DECLARE @Role TABLE (     role varchar(15)) SELECT SiteMap.Id, SiteMap.Title, SiteMap.UrlFROM SiteMapWHERE (CHARINDEX(@Roles, SiteMap.Roles) > 0 ) Regards, Sigurd

Creating A Search Engine

Jul 17, 2006

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum to ask this question; however, here goes.
I'm being asked to create/modify a search engine for our Web site.  Beyond trying to enhance the speed, I've been asked to add spelling and punctuation checks into the search text.
Right now, all that's being done is a simple like statement.
What's the best method to query a database? 
For example, if someone typed in "A and W" or "A/Ws" to get the value"A & W's", how would I make the link?  Is there a database table that exists that I could reference to replace & with and (or vice versa) , etc...  Is there a good place to start?

Creating A Powerful Search Procedure For My Site

Apr 7, 2008

Hi,
I need to implement a search procedure for my site that is able to traverse so many tables for results but at the same time making sure not to expose information that is sensitive and I sort of need help to do this as I have not actually done one as big as this one. I need to go through data on Petitions, users, schools and so many other tables in my database to find strings that match the search criteria but I am also conscious that this may cause some security problems with the way I think of it now and i was wondering if any one has a better idea on how to write a search procedure to allow user's to search my site for information.
Thanks in Advance

Creating Indexed Views For Full Text Search

Nov 30, 2007

Hi,

I have problem that Im sure others must have had before so I am looking for advice on the best way to solve it. I have a table of text information tbl_base which is related to another table containing tags, which can contain several rows for each row in base.

I want to create an indexed view of the data for full text search. I would like to select all the tags related to a particular row in the tbl_base together into a string and join it to the end of the tbl_base table so they can be indexed along with the tbl_base data for full text indexing. Ive tried several methods but I am never able to make an index on my view because it say I cant use COALESCE, or Cursors.

Sample data here :

tbl_base

id | Text
------------------------
1 | BLah blah
2 | Dum de dum
3 | HAr HAr


tbl_base_tags

tagID | base_id | TagText
--------------------------
1 | 1 | first
2 | 1 | second
3 | 1 | third
4 | 2 | fourth


The view I want to end up with will look like this :

vw_tables

base_id | Text | Tags
-------------------------------------
1 | Blah blah | first second third
2 | dum de dum | fourth

How can I achieve this? Do I have to index all the tables seperately?

Concatenate Strings After Assigning Text In Place Of Bit Strings

Feb 19, 2007

I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.

I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.

This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:


select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +

case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +

case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String

from new_database

The output would be

Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/

So far, nothing I have tried has worked.

Any ideas?

SQL 2000 MS Search: Boolean Search Doesn't Work When Search By Phrase

Aug 9, 2006

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

Help W/ Stored Procedure? - Full-text Search: Search Query Of Normalized Data

Mar 29, 2008

 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

SQL Search :: Full Text Search With Single Character Returns All Rows

Jul 21, 2015

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] ....

SQL Server 2014 :: Semantic Search Not Finding Keywords Identified By Full-Text Search?

Nov 6, 2014

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?

Create Site Search Using Sql Server Full Text Search

Jul 24, 2007

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?

Full-Text Search: Prefix / Suffix Search

Sep 14, 2004

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

SQL 2012 :: FullText Search - Can Search Terms Come From Another Table

Mar 25, 2015

I have a table that contains words that will be used to search another table where FullText index has been created on searchable columns. I'm basically trying to run something like this:

SELECT t1.col1, t2.col3
FROM tbl1 t1, tbl2 t2
WHERE CONTAINS (t1.col1, t2.col1)

I know this won't work but is there a way to join these two tables so the words (t2.col1) can be passed as search conditions? There is no common key on both tables so normal join won't work. I'm trying to find a way to pass the search words from one table to another.

SQL Search :: Can't Get Expected Results With Contains And Full Text Search?

Nov 1, 2015

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.%';

Fulltext Search DB - Allow Users To Search Products

Dec 6, 2011

My site uses a text box to allow visitors to search products. I'm trying to design the SQL Statement to allow search's on full words, part words, and words/phrases regardless of the order the words are in.

E.g.
megger
meg
mft megger (proper order in the database is megger mft)
mft1710 (using 1710 should find the product)

This is my select statement (classic ASP)

Code:
<%
Dim RSResults__param5
RSResults__param5 = "xxx"
If (Request("searchme") <> "") Then
RSResults__param5 = Request("searchme")
End If

Help With Query Strings

Feb 7, 2007

I am using query strings to pass data from web form to web form and I have two questions.  First if i use a asp:sqldatasouce to fill up a grid view and I have my select command set to a paramater that get whatever is in the query string it will not work because whatever is in the quers string gets a " ' " put in front and in the back of it.  So if the query string was 5 whene it does the sql statement it sets my paramater = '5' not just 5 so its wont work.  How can I fix this using the asp:sql datasource my aspx code looks like
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Rental PropertiesConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [APARTMENTS] WHERE ([PROPERITY_ID] = @PROPERITY_ID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="PROPERITY_ID" QueryStringField="key" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
Also since i have not been able to get around this so i have been wrting code in vb.net to attact a dataset to a grid view to populate it based on the query string i would do the following in vb.net to get ride of the ' in front and behind the query string
Dim y as string  = "'" // " ' "
key = Request.QueryString("key").trim(y.tochararray)
But now i am doing another project in C# and I have re-written the above code in C# it will run but it will not take the " ' " out form infront or behind key.  How does this need to be changed up?
string y = "'";
key = Request.QueryString["key"].trim(y.tochararray());
