Help 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

Aug 9, 2006I'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
SQL Search Query Help!
Sep 11, 2004I 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
Search Query
Aug 16, 2005hi 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#)
thanks
Need Query Help For Search
Feb 28, 2006I 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 "

companyNameBegins is the string passed in by the user

SQL Search Query
Mar 27, 2001Hello-
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.

Nov 5, 2007Hi,
I'm wondering about the following:
I have come across an InfoPath Forms application who's code is scripted in javascript and who's data seems to be in XML files.An analyst at that company told me they suspect the data is ALSO in SQL Server... somewhere. They can't seem to find it though. I havereviewed the .js code and some methods are called for which I can find no source. I believe those methods execute OK because they're foundinside some DLL.
I'm thinking I would enter a new record using the form in InfoPath using some datavalue that I can expect will be unique.. like a lastname who's first three chars is ZZZ or something like that. Subsequently, I'd search each column in each table in each DB on the server to see if I can locate it somewhere.
So, my question is what is the best approach for this? I have access to the db, table and column names. I know I can write a small vb.net piece of code to execute my search. But, is there some better way using some sql procedure (or using the full text catalog) instead or any other tool(s)?
Thanks in advance for your advise.

Help Needed In SQL Query Search!
Aug 2, 2005Hi everyone,
I'm trying to implement SQL Server database search. The details are:-1. I have table called EMPLOYEE has FNAME,LNAME etc cols.2. User might look for any employee using either FNAME or LNAME3. I have search box in asp.net where user could enter search stringThe sample data:FNAME LNAMEabc georgedef georgerkis litarose lita
The query i wrote:SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE lname like '%' + searchArg + '%'My problem is:-1. let's say user is looking for employee "george"; In search string instead of typing actual word "george", user could type "jeorge"; because the name pronounce or sounds like similar.Same thing with user could type "leta" instead of "lita". Again these are all similar sounds.
When you look for "jeorge" in GOOGLE; it says "did you mean george"; i would like implement something like that. somewhere i saw SOUNDEX would do what i am looking for; but i no luck for me.
Is this possible anyway in T-SQL or Fulltext search.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Keywords Search Query
Feb 6, 2007Hi,
I'm trying to do a query to do a search by keywords. For example if the user searches for "Hottest restaurants in Atlanta" i want to write a query that searches that exact phrase first in a database field called keywords and if it shows up there then that record should be displayed first.. and then after do a search for EACH one of the words in a number of fields in the database and see if it shows up.
here is what i have so far but it always returns the same thing. any ideas?
$searchArray=explode(" ",$search);
$query = "SELECT ID,name,description from restaurants WHERE keywords = '$search' OR (";
foreach($searchArray as $key){
$query = $query . " (name LIKE '%$key%' OR subType LIKE '%$key%' OR features LIKE '%$key%' OR neighborhood LIKE '%$key%' OR region LIKE '%$key%') OR";
}
$query = substr($query,0,strlen($query)-3);
$query = $query . ") order by keywords";
any ideas?
Need Help Writing Search Query
Feb 17, 2005I am not very familiar with the syntax of MS SQL and I am trying to write a stored procedure which would do a search and return matching records.
This is what I need to achieve:
for instance I create a form with 4 text fields
- First Name
- Last Name
- Employee ID
- Date
I am interested in writing a stored procedure that would run a select query based on the input in the text fields
e.g.
- if the user enters First Name and the Last Name (leaving Employee ID and Date fields blank) query should be something like
select * from Employee where FirstName like @FirstName and LastName like @LastName
- or if the user enters only the Employee ID stored procedure should run a query similar to
select * from Employee where EmployeeID like @EmployeeID
Search Query Through 3 Different Fields?
Dec 12, 2014I have 2 tables.
Clients
Contacts (multiple contacts for one client)
I'm trying to do a search that pulls a contacts where the search matches either the First Name, last Name or the clients name. If it does return clients, I'd like it to also return all the contacts associated with it.
I have two problems:
1. The query is not bringing up a lot of clients. In many cases a letter brings nothing back. Like G and H even though A and B return results.
2. If it finds a client it only returns one contact. I'd like it to return all contacts for the client.
Here's my query:
SELECT addressbook.clientid, clients.clientname, addressbook.addressid, addressbook.fname, addressbook.lname FROM clients, addressbook where clients.clientid = addressbook.addressid
AND (addressbook.fname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR addressbook.lname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR clients.clientname LIKE
'" . strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%')
Search Query Help With Duplicates?
Sep 7, 2006Hello everyone,
Obviously, I'm new here so I'd like to start by thanking anyone for their help with this very newbie SQL search query question.
I have been tasked with trying to figure out how to get search results from several different columns of two different tables within a database. I have successfully accomplished this, but one column has many many duplicates. I have read on these forums about using the DISTINCT command to eliminate this, but so far have been unsuccessful. Here is the search I'm using...(columns 1, 2, and 3 are from one table and columns 4 and 5 are from another. The results need to be in ascending order (alphabetical) of column1.
select column1, column2, column3, column4, column5 from table1, table2 order by column1;
The result of this is great except that column1 has many duplicates.
I tried entering the search like this...
select distinct column1, column2, column3, column4, column5 from table1, table2 order by column1;
...but that didn't seem to help.
Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks for any and all assistance.

Complex Search Query - PLEASE HELP!
Feb 28, 2008Hi there,
I need a query to join 3 tables. Here is my setup:
TABLEFields
GroupsID, Name
KeywordsID, GroupID, Keyword
SearchID, Keyword
"Groups" and "Keywords" are linked one to many, with each group being assigned multiple keywords. "Search" holds a list of keywords that I want to search for. In particular, I need to find the groups that have ALL of the keywords in "Search" assigned to them (not just at least one). I've tried many different approaches, but cannot find a way to do this with a single query. All my attempts so far also return groups that only have a few of the keywords in "Search" assigned to them, but not ALL.
Can anyone help? I am desperate to find a solution...
Thanks!

Criteria Search Query
Jul 30, 2007I have four criterias in my .aspx page. They are "First Name, Last Name, Title, Year". I have a Book and an Author table. The Author table would contain all the author's information and the Book table contains all the books information such as title, publisher, subject, and so on. So here's what I'm trying to do.
I want to write a transaction statement that will query the four criterias above if the criteria textbox is not black. So for example, when the user click the submit button, all the four criteria fields are filled except Year. That means the query would search the Author and Book tables for "First Name, Last Name, Title" but not "Year" for any potential matches. I also wanted to use "Like" instead of "=" for a wider search.
Actually I'm trying to create a store procedure that will accept those four criterias and search the tables based on those criterias.
Any help is appreciated.

My question is, how can i run a query on all of the fields that have the value of say Green in it. Note that these values vary in different order and numbers.
Thanks
How To Handle Complex Sql Search Query
Mar 3, 2006I am currently faced with developing a search function (ASP.NET 1.1
based user interface) to a database (SQL Server 2000 ), and I am
wondering how best to handle the logistics of it.
The search can take anywhere from one to 9 parameters. The search would be executed against three related tables.
The main problem, as I see it at this stage, is how to handle
parameters that have not been selected, it's easy enough to do a search
with all 9 parameters, but as soon as there is an unpredictable
variable number of search criteria, I just don't know how best to
handle this in a stored procedure for example.
I would be very grateful for some guidance.
Thanks.
Search Query Among All Fields In A Table
Jul 14, 2005I 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
'Reverse' Search Query For Chat Bot
Oct 8, 2005I am writing a chat bot for IRC in C#. I am using an Access database (for portability etc) - I have a table called tblResponse, it contains a column called Trigger this contains trigger strings, such as:
% wassup%!%
These contain wildcards etc so that they will match different things spoken in the channel, so the above should match:
hey wassup!!
whoah, a bot ... wassup!!
etc. Because this is comparing general conversations, I am doing sort of a reverse search, in that it is not what I am passing in that I am using as the search string, it is what is in the column of the database that serves as the search string. I don't want to have to store the chat text in a temp table and loop through the Response table, calling sql queries for every entry - but all the queries I have tried do not work as intended.
I have tried switching the select query variables like this (this is called from c#, so for here i have just inserted a test value):
SELECT *
FROM tblResponse
WHERE Trigger like 'hey wassup!!!';
This returns nothing, so does:
SELECT *
FROM tblResponse
WHERE 'hey wassup!!!' like Trigger;
Is there anyway I can perform such a search within a sql query that can be processed by MS Access? To recap (in case I have done a poor job explaining this)... I need to use the database entries as the search criteria, if that criteria matches the incoming text string (using the wildcards in the database entries), then return that row - the exact opposite of a convensional 'search' query.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Search Query With Optional Parameters
Jun 12, 2006I need to create a stored procedure that will search some tables.
The stored procedure will be passed some parameters that may or may not have a value.
I have googled the best way to do this.
I found this post as an example: Optional Search Parameters
and also found this example : Optional Parameters in T-sQL
I am trying to figure out the best way to do this.
In the past I would build a dynamic query like the following.
SQL Code:
Original
- SQL Code
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Search_Results]
@SUBCITY VarChar(100) = 'Any'
AS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Declare @SUBCITYString Varchar(200)
If @SUBCITY <> 'Any'
Begin
Set @SUBCITYString = ' AND (Table1.SUBCITY LIKE ''' + @SUBCITY + '%'') '
End
Else
Begin
Set @SUBCITYString = ''
End
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Declare @SQLString As Varchar(500)
Set @SQLString = 'SELECT*
FROMTable1
WHERE Table1.ID IS NOT NULL
' + @SUBCITYString + '
ORDER BY Column ASC'
Execute (@SQLString)
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Search_Results] @SUBCITY VarChar(100) = 'Any' AS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DECLARE @SUBCITYString Varchar(200)IF @SUBCITY <> 'Any' BEGIN SET @SUBCITYString = ' AND (Table1.SUBCITY LIKE ''' + @SUBCITY + '%'') 'ENDELSE BEGIN SET @SUBCITYString = '' END----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECLARE @SQLString AS Varchar(500)SET @SQLString = ' SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Table1.ID IS NOT NULL ' + @SUBCITYString + ' ORDER BY Column ASC' Execute (@SQLString) GO
However this is really cumbersome to create and is not fun debugging!
Does one of these ways have an advantage over the other? Or is there another way to do this?
Thank you!
