Adding A Full Text Search Across Multiple Tables (with Text Fields)
Sep 7, 2007Hi, 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.
Full-text Search Across Multiple Tables
Jan 13, 2006Hello,We are developing an application against an MS SQL Server 2000 databasewhich requires that we implement full-text searching across columns inmultiple tables. The research that we have conducted seems to indicatethat this is not directly possible within SQL Server 2000. And we canfind no way to implement this as the catalogs that are generated aretable specific.As a work-around, we are planning to create a secondary table usedstrictly for searching which is going to denormalize and combine thesearchable data into one catalog. We just want to confirm that this isthe recommended approach or if there is an alternate solution anyonehas used. Please note that upgrading to SQL Server 2005 is not anoption.Thanks.John FlemingJoin Bytes!

Sep 19, 2007Hi,
I have tried this code from http://jtkane.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1pWDBCiDX1uvH5ATJmNCVLPQ!316.entry for full-text search on multiple tables & columns.
Here's my code:
SELECT * from [tStaffDir] AS e, [tStaffDir_PrevEmp] t,CONTAINSTABLE([tStaffDir], *, @Name) as AwhereA.[KEY] = e.[ID] andt.[ID] = e.[ID]
I have FT the both the tables above and I am able to get results from the [tStaffDir] table but not the [tStaffDir_PrevEmp] table.The [tStaffDir_PrevEmp] table does have a column (which is [ID]) that is indexed, unique and non-Nullable.Please advise what I should do and look out for.
Many Thanks.
Full Text Search In SQL 2005 On Multiple Tables
Dec 28, 2007Hi, There have been a number of posts on querying multiple tables using full text in SQL Server. I haven't quite found the answer I'm looking for, and I'm aware that in 2005 some full text functionality changed. I have an Events table which joins to a Venue table and also a many-to-many link (via a table called EventsToArtists) to an Artists table.When a user searches for "Rolling Stones Wembley" (without the apostrophes), I want the query to look in the following columns:Event.EventNameEvent.DescriptionArtists.ArtistNameVenue.VenueNameI have done quite a bit of testing on this, and haven't yet got the desired results. Rolling Stones will be found in the Artists table, and Wembley in the Venue table. At the moment, if I search for Rolling Stones, it behaves as expected. But if search for the venue name as well I get no results. I'm pretty sure this is because EventName wouldn't contain all key words and so the record is excluded from the results. At the moment I am using INNER JOINs between the tables....perhaps I should be executing a full text search on each table's catalogue and then do a UNION to join the resultsets?Hope you can point me in the right direction.Thanks

Best Full-Text Indexing On Multiple Tables
Apr 7, 2006Hi, I'm using SQL Express Advanced CTP and I'm in the process of adding a search facility to an asp.net site. I'm having a huge problem deciding the easiest and most optimised method to use when creating the index using multiple tables and where I can't seem to to produce a unique, clustered index.
The site I'm testing on is a portal in which we have various, different clients advertising their business.
A user will be able to search using keywords such as business activity, business location and anything else that may appear in the business / publicity descriptions.
A publicity (publicity_id) may belong to one or more TOWNS (ville_id), e.g., Business A might have a promotional offer that applies to three local towns, Business B to all towns and Business C to just one town.
A publicity may belong to one or more ACTIVITIES (activity_id), e.g., Business D is a resturant but has also a bar and Business E belongs to prêt-� -porter, fashion, and beauty.
I'm using a view (ActivePubs) to produce a query across multiple tables Clients (business name), Publicities (publicity descriptions), Towns and Activities.
So from the nature of how the publicities are connected to activities and towns, I have many to many relationships that produce duplicate publicity_id values when I create the view, and thus this provides a problem when trying to create a unique, clustered index on ActivePubs; and none of the coloumns produce unique values that monotonically increases, ideal, I believe, for creating unique, clustered indexs. I have also read that it is only best to use interger values for creating unique, clustered indexes.
I thought that if I SELECT the row number in ActivePubs,
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY dbo.Publicities.publicity_id) AS ROWNUM, ...
in addition to the rest of the query, then I might be able to use the unique values from the query result to create the unique, clustered index
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX CL_Inx_Pubs ON ActivePubs(ROWNUM)
but instead this produces the following error...
Cannot create index on view "ActivePubs" because it contains a ranking or aggregate window function. Remove the function from the view definition or, alternatively, do not index the view.
So I scrapped this idea but without this method using just
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX CL_Inx_Pubs ON ActivePubs(publicity_id)
I get the following error...
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX terminated because a duplicate key was found for object name 'ActivePubs' and index name 'CL_Inx_Pubs'. The duplicate key value is (32).
I did consider NOT using a UNIQUE clustered index, but got this error...
Cannot create nonunique clustered index on view 'daysandnights.ActivePubs' because only unique clustered indexes are allowed. Consider creating unique clustered index instead.
The only other method I think about using is storing the query in a temporary table instead of using a view, then creating an additional column in the temporary table to store a unique, automatically incremented, PK for the table to give me my unique index, but my guess is that this is overkill?
Much appreciate any help you can provide.

Free Text Search Across Multiple Tables

Like I'd love to do a search where i searched for the product name, company name or tag all in one query (though all are in separate tables)... is that possible? Individually, it's easy, but combined it's very hard.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHelp W/ Stored Procedure? - Full-text Search: Search Query Of Normalized Data
Mar 29, 2008Hi - 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 RelatedSQL Search :: Full Text Search With Single Character Returns All Rows
Jul 21, 2015Our 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;

SQL Server 2014 :: Semantic Search Not Finding Keywords Identified By Full-Text Search?
Nov 6, 2014I 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, 2007would 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

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.

SQL Search :: Can't Get Expected Results With Contains And Full Text Search?
Nov 1, 2015I 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.%';
SQL Server 2000 Full Text Search (extract Pieces Of Text)
Sep 12, 2007Hello 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.

Full Text Search
Jul 23, 2002After 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,

SQL Full Text Search
Jul 19, 1999Greetings ! Has anyone seen a problem in SQL 7 where you create a full text catalog, define an index on a table, and run 'populate', and end up with an empty catalog ? It runs for a while during the population, and there are no messages in the logs, but the 'item count' property of the catalog is 0.
Also you can run a query that uses the index (i.e. uses 'CONTAINS') and you receive no error, and no results.
I've set this up on other servers, so I know it works, but can find no mention of this problem anywhere.
TIA

Is there any way to stop this messages?
It is normal for Microsoft Search to write this message into EventLog?
